I think it would be OK mIEKAL. The damage was caused by the fact that it was already leafed out when the hard frost hit. Most years it's not problem. It's not the winter cold that gets it, it's the hard frost after it is leafed out. Hector, zone 6 middle tn

Hector: I'm curious if you think Ill Everbearing is a zone 4 tree?
If it gets damaged by late freezes down there...

Ill. Everbearing is our favorite mulberry. Delicious, bears over a
longer
period than others we have tried. It was damaged by the late
freeze but
despite the dead tip branches, it is putting out fruit. One of our
trees is
quite old and the wood is not strong. Breaks branches in storms.

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.
