I am in search of Red Mullberry, I don't know why it is so hard to come across, But, I'm having a hard time locating one! ... I plant a lot of things that attract birds ( I love bird-watching and filming them ) The Red-Mulberry is suppose to be highly attractive to them, So I definately want to get one.

Hello, Iris, I bet you know where your name comes from!!

Mulberry trees grow all over Greece and they are of two types mainly: white (i.e. produce white mulberries) and "black" that produce deep purple mulberries. Are these what you want?? These trees are easy to grow from cuttings, but I am collecting seeds this year for a Vietnamese friend who asked for some.
Let me know
Dimitri

I can send you seeds with pleasure. Other than that, I can't do, as you live in USA and I live in Greece - USA Customs do not permit exchange of plants, cuttings etc for the fear of disease spreading.

Let me know
