but would morus nigra do well in zone 7 (east coast), due to humidity/winter cold? cultivar recommendation for such area, if so?  I have read about it being tried in Idaho (is that zone 7)?

I have read that Morus nigra used to be dried on a large scale in places

(alba/rubra cross?) compares for drying. M. nigra is reported not

I know people who like some weeping mulberries for fruit, but they don't 
have much knowledge of mulberries. I suggest that if you want a mulberry 
for fruit, you get one that was selected for its fruit quality.
