Only thing I read somewhere was that it was a chance cross between M. rubra, the native muberry and M albo that had been brought in for silk worms.  I think this lmight have been a guess and not genetically tested.

Subject: [NAFEX] origin of Illinois Everbearing mulberry

We seem to be in the mood to discuss mulberries...

 

I was curious about the origin of the Illinois Everbearing mulberry, so I did a search with google.  It turned up an article by Artur Lee Jacobson:

http://www.arthurleej.com/a-mulberry.html

According to this article, this is a relatively new variety, first identified in 1947, and offered for sale commercialy 11 years later.  Does anyone have any more details they can fill in.  Some NAFEX members may even have been personally involved in its early years.
