Hector: I'm curious if you think Ill Everbearing is a zone 4 tree?
If it gets damaged by late freezes down there...

quite old and the wood is not strong. Breaks branches in storms.

Subject: Re: [NAFEX] Illinois Everbearing Mulberry
I was interested to hear about other people's experience with this
mulberry. I had just recently bought mine from Burnt Ridge and
set it in
ground bareroot in April. We had cold weather, although nothing as
extreme in scope as some of you have described. However, my mulberry
never broke dormancy either in zone 6, PA which was most
disappointing.
I bought my first Illinois Everbearing mulberry from Forestfarm a
little
over a year ago, and it never broke dormancy, either. They sent me a
replacement that I planted June 7, 2006, and it grew very well - very
fast - and looked great. But it didn't break dormancy this year. Of
course, we had that April cold snap this year. But I'm wondering
about
the pattern with this tree.
Well, I bought another one this spring, so we'll see how that goes.
