What time of year does the black mulberry flower? Books say November to
January and I recall from childhood we had fruit by Xmas. I have fine
healthy specimens 2m tall with no sign of flowers yet. How much is the
time influence by climate and location or cultivar?

Hi David, mine are in fruit now, at the small not ripe stage, ie still
light red colour, it looks like quite a good crop, so I've put the bird net
on, because otherwise the blackbirds get the lot. We are in surburban
Melbourne. I grow ours surrounded by violet and curry bush as a book on
companion planting recomends this.
