Our Variety Assessment

Its strengths, growing requirements and the conditions in which it performs best.

Illinois Everbearing is one of the most convincing mulberries for an extended harvest. Its elongated black fruit is exceptionally juicy, with a rich balance of sweetness and acidity, and continues ripening for many weeks. The tree begins bearing young and crops heavily. Despite its name, it is not a compact fruit tree: without regular pruning it quickly becomes broad and vigorous, while ripe fruit stores very poorly.

Description

Illinois Everbearing is a hybrid mulberry, notable for its long black fruits. It produces fruits over a period of several weeks in mid-summer.

Unlike the traditional English mulberries which take many years to start bearing, Illinois Everbearing should begin fruiting after 3-4 years. It also won’t get so big – probably around 4m after 10 years.
