We've sold mulberries (Ill. Everbearing) at the local Farmer's Market.  
Biggest problem for us was they are very tender and survive only minimum 
handling.  Don't keep well even with refrigeration.
     I was trying pollarding, because it seemed the best way to reach the 
fruit.  Keep to 5 ft. or so height and remove branches after 3,4 years.  But 
the deer had other ideas.  Broke all the grafts.  The love the foliage.  I 
hope someone can work out a system.    Hector Black zone 6 middle tn
