Oscar's is supposed to be hardy to zone 5 and it is really an excellent
mulberry, currently my favorite.
Is it a very large tree? The more I think about it, the more I'm
inclined to try that Geraldi Dwarf, though I can't find much information
about it on the Internet. I'd really have to prune a full-sized tree
quite severely to fit the place I have available. And I planted
strawberries nearby last year. I figured I'd enjoy them for a few years
before the mulberry got big enough to shade them out. But after enjoying
them this year, I'm thinking a dwarf tree might let me keep them, too.
