   Dave Griffin asked:

I am leary of mulberries because I've heard the are extremely invasive and
I don't want any more weed problems in my good quality oak woods. Does
anyone know about the accuracy of their reputation for being invasive?


   I had a Morus alba growing here for 6 - 7 years.  No, it was not
invasive, actually quite behaved.  Very slow grower.  In its final year of
life it bore a few fruits and died the following Winter.  That was a mystery
because it was a mild winter and it had survived alot colder.
