It's too bad so few people have fruiting
mulberries
The only mulberries I have eaten were from a tree growing at the
Bishop's Close garden in Portland, Oregon. They were delicious. My
husband was so impressed he said we needed to get one for our garden,
but so far I haven't managed to. I think one needs to try them
before buying, because perhaps they don't all taste as good as this
one.

p.s. This garden, which was designed by the man who designed Central
Park in New York, is owned by the Episcopalian diocese but is open to
the public. Right now there will be thousands of Eranthis and Crocus
tommasinianus in bloom, with big trees of pink-flowered Magnolia
campbelli, and a backdrop of snow-covered Mt. Hood. Maybe not
snow-covered this year, but usually.
