Illinois Everbearing Mulberry Tree 6-10" Tall, Sweet Fruit to Enjoy Year After Year, Fruit Bearing Potted Plant

My little mulberry tree arrived well-packaged in 4 days. It is healthy and has several green leaves. It is about 6 inches tall. I potted it in a 9-inch pot and have it outside under a 70% shade cloth. It is tolerating sunny, 70-degree days and 40-degree nights. My only concern is that its trunk is very slender and our wind can start whipping it around, so I have protected it from the wind with several boards. I read that a certain amount of wind is good because it helps the tree to become stronger. I hope it will grow 2-3 feet per year, because it looks so tiny and frail at this point.

I was quite disappointed when it arrived. All the leaves were wilted, and the plant itself was maybe 3". Not even close to the advertised size of 6-10". I'm trying to nurse it back to health. Only time will tell if it even makes it. When purchasing a new plant, it shouldn't arrive on its last leg, and you should be able to trust that the description is somewhat accurate. BUYER BEWARE, the seller considers the stem of a leaf as 1" and the ball root as 2" of the total length of the plant.

Ther still alive, with new leaf growth. Water a lot, late day sun helps (evening sun).

received an 18 in. stick with a few leaves. well packaged and moist. I put it straight in the ground in a full sun spot. I did put a wire around it and covered with 40 percent shade cloth for several days. It has grown several inches in a couple weeks and looks strong so far. Will probably purchase another soon.

The plant is smaller then what is pictured, but I live in Mississippi. It came with more then 6 leaves, was plenty green and packaged with care! Just beware, if you order and change your mind, the package label does cost $6.00 to return.

The plant arrived in decent shape, but it is much smaller than I expected and maybe not the 6-10" advertised. The stem is about the height of four fingers. I recently purchased 2 mulberry plants from a different seller for the same cost as one common mulberry (Illinois Everbearing) plant from this seller. You can see the size of this plant compared to the other plants (in background). Plants this small with a barely established root system should not be so expensive.

The saplings came live, healthy, and beautiful, time will tell if they stay alive but I'm very hopeful! Great start for the price.

The plant arrived leafless and folded in half to be shoved into the box. The leaflessness was expected for it being in the late winter, however I planted it in a pot and kept it in an area where it would have afternoon shade. I was diligent in watering and keeping an eye on it, however it never emerged from dormancy and has become a brittle stick. The roots looked developed and strong when I moved it into a larger pot after I received it. I suspect the packing job was the culprit. I reached out to the seller and received a copy/paste response about fruit tree husbandry, which did not address my questions at all.
