What is the story about /Morus macroura / 'Pakistan'?

Is it a species from Pakistan?

How hardy is it?

Yes, it's from Pakistan. Here in Carmel, IN (recently upgraded to zone 6),
the trunk will survive the winter if you put a cylinder of chicken wire
around it and fill the cylinder with leaves, but the parts of the tree that
aren't covered will die.

About 10 years ago, I put a potted Pakistan outside in April and it got
pollinated by whatever males were in the neighborhood. Out of a couple
dozen seedlings, I got two that had long flowers, but both were males.
They are only a little more hardy than Pakistan. The main trunk survives
the winter but most of the branches get killed back. I've tried crossing
one of the males back to Pakistan or to Illinois Everbearing, but it
doesn't seem to create viable seeds. If anyone else would like to try, I
can provide scionwood. It can be propagated by grafting or from cuttings,
although only one of the eight cuttings I tried set roots.
