Most images depict a mature plant.

One of the best Mulberry varieties for the Northwest and other regions of the US, Illinois Everbearing is prized for its tasty, 1-1/2″ long fruit and its long ripening season, late June until early fall.

Morus rubra 'Illinois Everbearing', or Illinois Everbearing red mulberry is a native tree species and has both edible and ornamental features. It can live up to 125 years but the weedy invasive character is not appealing. It is more cold hardy than black mulberry.

The bark is gray-brown with long, scaly ridges. This tree produces a 1" to 1.25" long cluster of drupes that matures in the summer. The fruit resembles a blackberry.

Plants Arrived in Great Condition

My three baby mulberry trees took a while to get here, but they arrived in beautiful condition, and instead of three, I received five! I'm very happy with this order and will use Florida Plants Nursery again if I'm looking for healthy plants.
