I've used whip and tongue and cleft graft putting Ill. Evergearing on white
mulberry stock.
Both successful just when the buds begin to swell. I used scionwood that
was gathered when the tree was dormant kept that in the frig and grafted
outside in the field in April here in middle TN Hector Black
One caution on Ill. Everbearing - It's a wonderful fruit but the branches
tend to be brittle and when long, they tend to crack in strong winds or when
being climbed too far out on a limb. The branches sweep down to the ground
so little kids love them, come in with purple juice streaming down their
chins.
