Nevermind, guess I didnt do enough research. Found them at Starks and Hardy Mulberry at Gurneys.

Hi Buck,

I have some Ill. and they are ok. But I really enjoy the oscar.

Of course the persian is the best if you can grow it.

I am just looking for something to make wine, but ill look into the others. Thanks

You're too cold for Persian. Oscar might be good for wine because fruit ripens in narrow window so picking enough fruit will be easy. Whitman Farms has it and shipping for one tree shouldn't be that much.

Yeah I was thinking about that but figured Illinois would get enough ripe at once for a batch because they put off so much fruit? I was hoping anyways.
Also im leaning towards Stark because they have a peach I would really like to add to fill in a harvest gap (PF 5B). I am thinking I can get 2 Illinois for what im going to pay to get 1 shipped from another company. Space isnt an issue so you think it would be better to have 2 Illinois than 1 of another type?

Womacks in texas has them, don't think it shows up online, but in their catalog, but call them they are reasonable priced they were out last year when I ordered by Kaki Persimmon from them. I have one on order right now from Hidden Springs in tennessese, I have not order from them before but have seen good reviews, seem reasonably priced as well. They had some more other things that fit in my want list this year than Womacks I hope I'm as impressed with them as Womacks.

Glad I posted here, didnt realize how many berries the wine would take. I think I am going to try the Oscar, but im going to get it from Burnt Ridge, seems to have good reviews and i can get the tree with shipping or under $30. It says its grafted, is that normal for mulberries?

OK me again, tryinig to do some research of the Oscar Hman, cant find to much. Did read a study from Washington State University that said that they only recomended growing it as an ornamental because it doesnt produce well. Are you growing any?

If you're talking about results of trials in western WA your hotter climate might give a different result. We have the coolest and dullest summer climate of major metropolitan areas in the lower 48.

I did grow Oscar here, but cut it down because I prefer the flavor of IE as grown here. It bore well for me for the 2 seasons I gave it.

Yes, all named varieties of Mulberries and almost all other (named) fruit trees are grafted.

Hey Buck,

I'm in SOuthern Cal,

I grow IE, Oscar, Persian, Pakistan and have tried the white mulberry.

I gotten all my mulberries at first from Burnt ridge.

Now this is my take on them. They get their trees MOSTLY from some where else. I was not really impressed with there trees at all. BUT it was one of the only places I could get the type I wanted.

I have since gone to LE cook but I buy in bulk meaning 30-40 trees at a time.

Now I like the oscar the best for that type of mulberry. IE is good but for me oscar is better. Pakistan is a different type but I like them. But the best is the persian if you can grow it.

That being said you are growing for wine so I would give a go at what ever works for you.

Good luk,

Buckster
