Narrative
The following is information from a Descriptive Catalog published by the Chico Nursery Co. in 1911: A new everbearing Mulberry of large size, larger than the Lawton blackberry, which it greatly resembles. Color black; flavor tart, like a blackberry and not the insipid sweet of most of the Morus family, and preferred by many to a blackberry. The tree is sure bearer, strong grower, very hardy and has a tendency to weep and could almost be classed as a weeping tree, making the fruit easily gathered. A very desirable ornamental tree, as well as one of the hardiest and most abundant bearers. By far the most desirable of the mulberries. Per Ronald Smith, Portland, OR, 3/20/1996: "Noire of Spain is listed in an old Nursery Catalog which I saw at Rich's Nursery here [Portland, OR] on Cornell Rd. I believe the original tree is still there. Fruits nice size and very tart until ripe and then very good. Tends to fall off tree soon as ripe. Seems to be compatible with Russian rootstock for grafting. My tree is about 20 feet high. This tree is supposed to be a more dwarfish grower but mine got quite large. Pruning seems to invigorate it greatly."
