hello market man, i reside in baguio and there are plenty of blackberry trees around here. but unfortunately the fruits are not populary sold in the market. few years back, i happen to see a boy selling blacberries in the overpass towards the market, and i delightfully bought a kilo of it. my mom combined it with rhubarb to make a jam. and also my siter used it to make muffins replacing the more commone blueberries. i really find them good or even better than the blueberries! now, i wanted to propagate it but i dont know where i can find seedlings that would perhaps produce fruits quickly. can anybody help me. thanks!

@corrine,
you can check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulberry, as mulberry is a genus of 10 to 16 plants. :). hope this helps

Can somebody please post a photo of the mulberry tree grown in the Phils? I have a tree in my front yard that bears round purple berries that seriously stains our car when they fall. I don’t know if it’s mulberry but it’s a big tree. From the discussions it sounds like a small tree. Thanks!

my lola had a fruiting mulberry tree in her front yard in iloilo, but i never got to ask about its ‘provenance (lola passed away a few years ago).’ i wonder why it’s not more common, seeing that it does survive and thrive in the tropics. too bad.
