Mulberry 'Illinois Everbearing'

A hybrid bred in the USA, fruiting at a very early age (2-3 years) and producing good-flavoured black fruits over a long 2-3 month period.

Leaves are large and heart-shaped and turn a striking, vivid yellow in autumn.

Typically grows to a height and spread of 6 to 8 metres when mature, but can be kept smaller with pruning. Fast growing, even in poor soils. Prefers moist well-drained soils but otherwise adaptable.
