>>2611409>fruits don't really change size as tree grows in my experience.:(
So I got bamboozled by the nursery.
I did some cuttings last year, double checked the fruit size this year (pic related), and WILD mulberries bear tasty fruits three times as big as the one I got from nursery.
I think I'll replant the cuttings to yet bigger pots.
(Those marked with '???' have been planted on purpose over 50 years ago, so probably they were also of no recognized variety; all depicted are ripe white mulberry fruits; scale is adjusted, color and exposure of the photos is banans.)
>"Illinois Everbearing", "Pendula"Nurseries here around sell at best non-name mulberry and pendula. The landscape designers care for no more, and many people don't want/know mulberries since fresh fruit is absent in shops…
I could graft a pendula from a local public park, I'd just need to cut scions before the city prunes all that grows below shoulder level (that's how they prune these mulberries yearly). But that pendulas have relatively small fruits.
I've already checked for the Illinois Everbearing: that one and the Gerardi's Dwarf are the only two widely recognized varieties that seem to exist in nurseries in my country, but I don't feel like buying plants online again.
