I am thinking about getting few of the Gerldi Mulberry
trees.
I wonder if anyone can comment on the fruit of this
tree as compared to
others?
I've got 4 that were purchased(by my wife) as 'dwarf mulberries' - it's
been several years, and I don't recall now if they were Geraldi or just
'dwarf'. All were, I presumed, supposed to be the same, but they are not -
one is a vigorous fruitless male(It's coming out soon!), two are pretty
dwarfed - not over about 6 ft tall, six years after being planted, the
fourth is *maybe* a semi-dwarf. Fruits on the three females are tiny - the
birds eat them, but even my kids don't bother eating them.
Don't think I'd plant one again - much prefer a good M.rubra, or Illinois
Everbearing. Even my weeping mulberry has larger, tastier berries than the
dwarfs., and it's pretty small, staturewise, in its own right.
