If anyone has small weeping mulberry trees for exchange, message me privately, please. I have extensive tropical/temperate zone plants. Dael

Lakshmi, I was going to recommend Ernie Grimo, but I see you're aware of his nursery - you may just have to wait 'til next year. Most of the weeping mulberries that are available in the nursery trade are non-fruiting 'male' selections, like 'Chapparral' - so you'd have one of those 'umbrella shrubs' and no fruit, to boot. There are some fruiting(female) weepers - 'Teas Weeping', etc. I've had one - the dwarf weeping mulberry from Edible Landscaping - and was not overly impressed with the fruit - small, tart, and not especially tasty - but there are a couple of fruiting weepers that I know of in town - planted in large, above-ground planters alongside the parking lot of a small shopping center - that have very good fruit - but these are not being adequately maintained, and soon the weeping portion will be completely overtaken by non-weeping M.alba shoots from the rootstock. Guess I ought to take some cuttings and root them or bud them onto some seedling mulberries for safe-keeping.

Gengis, Revisiting this thread after it bumped up to the top again - I see you listed 'Dwarf Weeping' as a M.nigra hardy to zone 3. I don't think so. This is probably a M.alba variety - I don't think any M.nigra are hardy to zone 3. It may produce 'black' berries, but that doesn't make it M.nigra. I had 'Dwarf Weeping' for a number of years - definitely a M.alba; berries on mine were not worth the trouble to pick. But, there are a couple of big old weeping mulberries in some parkinglot planters here in town that produce a fairly decent berry - guess I ought to sneak some cuttings and make a new 'weeper' - maybe it'll be fairly sizeable by the time I have grandkids big enough to play underneath it. I have a friend who budded several pieces of a weeping variety about 5-6 ft up on a vigorous, erect M.alba seedling, then put a piece of Illinois Everbearing on top to make a good fruiting mulberry with a 'hula skirt'.

If you are referring to the mulberry tree, beware. They sucker fiercely and quickly become invasive. You must choose carefully.
