I've used whip and tongue and cleft graft putting Ill. Evergearing on white 
mulberry stock.
Both successful just when the buds begin to swell.  I used scionwood that 
was gathered when the tree was dormant kept that in the frig and grafted 
outside in the field in April here in middle TN    Hector Black
  One caution on Ill. Everbearing - It's a wonderful fruit but the branches 
tend to be brittle and when long, they tend to crack in strong winds or when 
being climbed too far out on a limb. The branches sweep down to the ground 
so little kids love them, come in with purple juice streaming down their 
chins.
