Itdepends says... You're unlikely to get a reply in this forum from a Daley's rep-it's more a public forum. Note that edible mulberries (the nicest- black ones) stain badly- could be a drama with the kids clothes. Dwarf red shatoot is nice- very long fruit and very sweet- the kids would like that (not tart at all). Another possibility would be Hicks Fancy- it's a black one though- a little more tart if not completely ripe- and will stain clothes. Personally I prefer the flavour of the Hicks - the red shatoot is a too sweet for me. As far as keeping them small goes- you could get a weeping variety or prune them regularly to keep them small. Mulberries fruit from the base of new shoots anyway so regular pruning keeps the size down- they'll also grow happily in a large (50-60cm pot).
