I have Illinois everbearing, Pakistan, and Beautiful Day white mulberry! I planted my Pakistan last year and it survived the crazy hard frost this past winter and is now fruiting. I got it as an 8' tall large tree from One Green World. I believe it's hardier than we think.

I love the flavor of Beauty Day! It tastes like pawpaw and vanilla, nothing like Illinois or Pakistani. I planted it last year and it's also fruiting now! Mulberries are for people who want instant gratification :)

Oh dear, now I need Beautiful Day. I just planted Early Bird. I hear Beautiful day is excellent dried, have you tried it that way?

I haven't tried it dried, but I assume it's just going to have a more intense flavor. It's sweet and flavorful. I've had other white mulberries that are just sweet but not flavorful.

I have too, which is why I've been cautious about buying a white. Thanks for the report!

You're welcome to try the fruits on my Beautiful Day when they're ripe this year!
