I agree with Megan,  The one I tasted at an orchard visit in Oregon was very 
sweet, but not particularly interesting.  I have liked Illinois Everbearing 
grown in Illinois, Oscars & Noir de Spain grown in Oregon and Kaester grown 
in California.  All have more of a sweet tart balance than Pakistan.  I have 
included where they were growing because A.J. Bullard in his talk at the NAFX 
Meeting last year said that mulberries are quite sensitive to climate in 
terms of how they do and how the varieties taste.
Noir de Spain and Kaester are Morus Nigra.

It's hard to describe.  it's just kinda sweet and seedy.  I regret buying it 
because I was actually looking for something like Morus nigra 'Persian' but 
with bigger fruit!  Black mulberries have the kind of sweet/tart balance that 
I really like.
