Trader Mulberry
Morus nigra
The original Trader mulberry was brought to the US from Germany by the Trader family and planted on their farm in North Dakota, where it still stands today, over a century later. It's longevity is thanks to a tolerance for extreme cold, and high levels of disease and pest resistance. Trader has an extended ripening season where it produces sweet, juicy black mulberries. One of the hardiest mulberry varieties, grown in zones 3-7.
