Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This superb old time cultivar of Mulberry was selected in Geneva, New York for the quality of its delicious, medium (1 ¼"), cylindrical, red-black fruit; a perfect edible ornamental with deep-green heart-shaped leaves on a quick growing 30' tree; Mulberries are self-fertile, so you only need one.
