Morus alba30 × 20' Hardy variety with large dark purplish-black seedless berries up to 2" long. Fruit is very sweet and juicy; similar in size and taste to Illinois Everbearing. Great fresh eating and good for drying. While Illinois has a longer ripening season, Kokuso may be a hardier tree.
Widely thought to be of Korean origin, but may have first been selected in Japan as fodder for silkworm production due to its enormous leaves. Sometimes considered to be a separate species, M. latifolia, which means ‘broad-leaved.’ Precocious fruiting. Z4. Maine Grown. (2-4' bare-root trees)
