I will transfer this tree into a large winebarrel soon. Hopefully,it will be a prolific bearer like the white shahtoot. I've eaten it's berries and they taste like honeyed rasberries.

Purchased this in 2008 as I enjoy mullberries but don't have the room left in the yard for a full sized tree. Growing this in half a wine barrel will keep the tree dwarfed and I'll still get a "taste" of fruit off it.

Reasonably heavily pruned due to being in pot. Grows faster than the Black English and isn't as suitable for pot culture in my opinion

2010- I've revised my opinion of this- the vigorous growth means heaps of mulberries off the new growth. Pruned this in late summer when I repotted it into a larger pot (note to self- termites love half wine barrels left in damp gardens). Got an early autumn crop of mulberries from the new growth!!

I believe the mulberry died because I didn't account for climate differences between Northern NSW and Southern WA. I recieved it in winter and planted it in a very exposed spot. Although in dormancy when I recieved it I know it was alive, it just didn't resprout in spring. I think I should have let it adjust to cooler weather somewhere protected from winter storms!
