I've never tasted Illinois Everbearing, but I agree that the weeping
mulberries do not produce much fruit, and it doesn't taste that great.
If you need something smaller for your yard, try Geraldi dwarf. Only
had it a few seasons, but it compares very well in taste to the dozens
of naturalized mulberries I've tasted around town, and has the
advantage of being only a few feet high so you can easily pick. Can't
say on how productive it is yet, although it did make about a dozen
fruits the first year it was planted.

No comparison in fruit size, quality, productivity, or length of
harvest season.
Illinois Everbearing wins, hands-down.
The fruiting weepers I've encountered don't even rate as an 'also-ran'.
