I never did get a mulberry tree. I read about a variety that was selected in North Dakota called the "Trader" mulberry. It probably was Morus alba var tatarica. Likely can't get it Canada but if you find a source let me know. I'm tempted to buy an "Illinois Everbearing" from Grimo Nut Nursery. I believe this variety is a Morus rubra x Morus alba hybrid.
I live 80 km SW of Moose Jaw and am likely a little bit warmer than you. Very interested in bees but have too many projects on the go at the moment. I am experimenting with a variety of tree crops on a little bit larger scale and a kind of a tree seed nut. Feel free to contact me with questions about trees and shrubs and I will do my best to help you. Take care.
What kind of tree crops do you have? I am growing trees and am getting a tree seed order in the next few weeks."
Hi Denis, I live in Moorhead, MN which borders Fargo, ND. I purchased a Trader Mulberry from Northern Tree Specialties in Fargo. My tree is a couple of years old and is doing great. Our winters are brutal here, similar to Winnipeg and its still doing well. This tree is a clone of a tree in Valley City, ND which is over 120 years old. I fence it though 'cause the deer love the leaves. https://www.facebook.com/pg/NorthernTreeSpecialties2/notes/
I recommend. Good luck, Mark
