I told Lucky about one mulberry that I grafted a weeping to, then after it 
was growing I staked a weeping branch in the up position and the following 
year grafted Ill. Ev. to it to grow straight up. As lucky told me a mulberry 
with a skirt :>)

This might be something for you to consider, Robert.  I've got all the space 
I want, and can have as many individual trees as I care to plant, I don't 
have to do bark inversion to limit size,  but I do have one multi-variety 
mulberry - currently is mostly 'Packy' -a selection Gordon sent me, but also 
has Stearns, contorted, and a couple of M.rubra selections grafted on as 
individual branches.
