Hello all:

An additional tree worth considering is Illinois Everbearing Mulberry.

Mike Parker, a wildlife biologist who now works for Pheasants Forever said it best. "Wow! What is that?" IEM makes a spectacular specimen when grown in a fertile location. Berry drop is negligable because they come in as a trickle and the birds and local wildlife stay on top of the ripening crop.

IEM's sole drawback, in my opinion, is lack of fall color.
