Lee is correct. Morus nigra, Black Mulberry is native to Asia and is not
winter hardy enough to survive the Midwest winters. What is native to this
area is Red Mulberry, Morus rubra which is commonly but incorrectly called
Black Mulberry.

I stand corrected, my previous writtings of using black mulberry actually
are Morus rubra, Red mulberry and sometimes called American Mulberry.

Thanks Lee.

Not so easy. Richters, (and other garden supply places) sell neem as a leaf
shine, in small
bottles. Peter needs several liters for his purposes. But one can order it
from the States,
and it comes in with no problem as long as it is not listed as for
agricultural use. (If it is being
used for anything else - as a shampoo, herbal tonic, even powering one's
diesel VW - it is
outside the purview of PMRA, and Canada Custome pays it no heed, (except
occasionally
looking for GST and/or duties))
