Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We feel this is the best weeping mulberry, with its silvery bark and filigreed leaves on weeping stems, green in summer and golden in autumn before dropping. Blooms in spring but as a male form, does not fruit. Easily trained to stand to 6-12' tall and wide with branches reaching the ground, but also striking when allowed to spill over a a structure. Prefers full sun or dappled shade and summer water though tolerant of some summer drought. Frost hardy to -30 °F, USDA zone 4. Moraceae
