Love your collection… I have an unknown but what I believe to be a Tice or some other hybrid. Fruit taste like blackberry but it only fruits once and not throughout the season
There are many native rubras where I live in Dixie County fl. The leaves look a little differnt than other rubras ive seen but they produce well and taste great. I've heard air layering is more succesful rather than rooting cuttings for these trees. Gonna give it a try on some of the fruiting ones and hopefully build some stock of fl mulberry!
That’s awesome! Yes definitely get some airlayers going or you could graft but you are right the more Rubra they have in them the harder they are to root and those that work with pure Rubra tell me they don’t root. I’m very excited to hear you have old mulberries growing near you😊
I have 3 of the varieties you named, and a few more that have hard black rot on this years twigs, anyone have some ideas? is this a disease or a nutrient deficiency?
That would depend on what grow zone and what I wanted out of a mulberry if it were strictly for taste only, it would be Tice, Wacissa and sweet Delicious also Pakistani black and Australian green top best tasting. But these all take a while to root, establish and fruit. Best tasting for fast growing and fast fruiting with abundance Jans best and Maui. These would all do in zone 8a or higher and a few of them 7a or higher and only Jans best down to 5a
@@FruitTreeAddict I live in zone 6B just got a worlds best mulberry, & wanted 3 more was thinking about getting the Pakistani mulberry, a Shangri La & another recommendation, don’t know if they are good in zone 6B what do you recommend?
@@hamitfusha710 6b would only be Jans best, Illinois everbearing, Gerardi dwarf, Wellington, kokuso lucille at whitmanfarms.con has a lot of good varieties that would probably do good in 6 but not worlds best unless you protect it.
Illinois everbearing probably 5 and I’m not sure a lot of them have been tested because they are Florida natives but I would bet they would do great as low as 5/6 and I’ve read silk hope is almost identical and to get that one if you are in a zone 8a. And if lower get the Illinois everbearing

That’s what I have found with Tice. No matter how much you prune it, it’s not going to fruit again. Only in the spring.
Would that mulberry tree do good in Missouri?

Is Tice the same tree as Florida Giant?
Not at all the same as my Florida giant but who knows if yours is the same as mine🤣
If you could only choose 3 Mulberries which would it be?
