A vigorous fast growing variety from Korea that produces seedless two inch sweet long sweet black mulberries soon after planting. Possibly a sub species of Morus Nigra.
Morus nigra
The black mulberry tree is among the most beautiful. It grows to 30 feet and has a symmetrical spreading habit and very large heart shaped leaves. Each late summer and early fall, it produces loads of delicious fruit that is black when it is ripe.
The tree is hardy in USDA Zones 8-10. Black Mulberry trees thrive in California, western Oregon and Western Washington and throughout the south, wherever temperatures don't fall below 10 degrees F.
Morus alba x rubra
Since mulberry leaves are the sole food source of the silkworm, some American trees date to the early 1800's, when North Carolina was part of a thriving silk industry which was soon eclipsed by foreign competition. Silk Hope, discovered by A. J. Bullard, boasts this historic distinction and thrives better than most in the South. It bears 1-½ inch long, sweet, black fruit that ripens for two months in early summer.
