Mullberries. My favorite is a huge white one which is as sweet
as figs (don't know which cultivar). Keep the tops pruned down
so they don't get out of hand. You can get a number of
different varieties, some a little tart, purple, pink or white.
Different ones fruit at different weeks, but in general most
have a pretty long season of fruit.
