The Common Black Mulberry Tree - Compared to the Everbearing Mulberry

Tips, Tricks

1. are you sure that is a black mulberry ?
   The immature fruit were white.
   Morus Alba (White mulberry) can have black fruit too, the name is from the color of the immature fruit. Black and red mulberry have greener looking young fruit.
   i know whites have large leaves like that too.
2. great video. thanks
3. helpful ty!
4. That is not a black mulberry. It is a white mulberry. Morus nigra berries go green red then black. Morus alba go green white then black. Most U.S. forms wild or domestic will be Morus alba or alba x rubra hybrids. Morus nigra by nature are medium dwarfs with a bit more suckering or bushing habit. True Morus nigra is mostly grown in Europe and Australia as small trees and hedges. I myself have many cultivars and all 3 main species. I have a hedge row of nigra and morus alba and Morus alba x rubra hybrid shade trees. Rubra berries also go green red then white and some hybrids may as well.
5. Thanks for this video, I now know our trees are mulberry, I kept seeing ones with tiny leaves or shiny leaves and mine are HUGE and a bit "rough" or hairy. 
6. Where I grew up in Illinois we had two large mulberry trees and there were lots more in the surrounding woods. Character not only differs between the different species, it also varies from one tree to the next. The fruit from one tree to the next can vary in size, texture, sweetness, how watery the fruit is or how much fruit is produced. My mom has an excellent tree at her house that I plan to take some clippings from to start here at my house. It produces good quantity, sweet but not too sweet, not too soft but not too crunchy either. Love those mulberries!
