I was interested to hear about other people's experience with this mulberry.
I had just recently bought mine from Burnt Ridge and set it in ground
bareroot in April. We had cold weather, although nothing as extreme in scope
as some of you have described. However, my mulberry never broke dormancy
either in zone 6, PA which was most disappointing.


I bought my first Illinois Everbearing mulberry from Forestfarm a little over a year ago, and it never broke dormancy, either. They sent me a replacement that I planted June 7, 2006, and it grew very well - very fast - and looked great. But it didn't break dormancy this year. Of course, we had that April cold snap this year. But I'm wondering about the pattern with this tree.

Well, I bought another one this spring, so we'll see how that goes.
