McKay Nurseries offers a "Russian Mulberry" that they recommend for zone
3. Has anyone in zone 3 tried it with success? I'm suspicious because I
haven't seen a Russian Mulberry (Morus Alba) for colder than zone 5. Are
Russian Mulberries originally from Russia? If they are, that might be a
good case for zone 3 hardiness since 98% of the former Union of Socialist
Republics lies North of the 45th parallel.

Jim, if you say that 98% of x.USSR is N of 45th, I won't discuss, but this doesn't mean it is like hardiness zone 3... In fact, most of Oural region and even a lot of Siberia is not that cold and would be equivalent to our zone 4 or 5.
