Product Description
Grow an endless supply of sweet berries all summer long
The Illinois Everbearing Mulberry is the mulberry variety that is most often used in jams, pies, muffins and more because they have an incredibly sweet and delicious flavor.
Each large berry has a firm texture, with soft juicy flesh on the inside. When eaten fresh each mulberry provides a satisfying crunch with a rush of refreshing berry juice.
You will never run out of fruit because the Illinois Everbearing Mulberry continues to produce berries all summer long, from June until September so you can enjoy them in your favorite recipes for months. They stand out in the landscape with a shade of bright red before ripening to a shade of purple to black.
By growing up to about 35 feet tall with a thick, lush canopy the Illinois Mulberry transforms the landscape by adding vibrant, green beauty. This mulberry variety is even more beautiful in the spring when it erupts with hundreds of bright yellow trumpet shaped blooms that attract butterflies.
The Illinois Everbearing Mulberry thrives almost anywhere in the country. It can handle the ice and snow up North as well as the heat and droughts in the South. By being one of the most disease and pest resistant mulberry varieties available it doesn’t require any babying. Once planted these trees will produce tons of mulberries without making a fuss.

Illinois Everbearing Mulberrys are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Illinois Everbearing Mulberry will drastically increase the size of your crop.

United StatesWell, we bought two for the honey bee sanctuary and they have done excellent! It has been a few years now, and we can't keep up with the production! June to September! Both are 20-25 feet tall now with a 15 to 25 foot spread. We are so happy to have them. One suggestion if you decide to purchase one or two. Don't plant them near where you park your vehicles. You can thank me later on that . Our recommendation though is, "Go for it!"
United StatesLove this tree! Bought two that were about 16” tall when planted, they’ve already doubled in size and producing delicious fruit!
United StatesIt's been a few months and it's still alive.
Nice looking tree in a small pot. Excellent value.
I bought the first Chicago everbearing Mulberry from Fast growing Trees three years ago. The tree is doing very well and productive. The fruit is sweet. It does not necessarily bear fruit until the fall, but you can pick fruits for a good couple of month. I just planted the second tree in the last month. So far so good.
