What time of year does the black mulberry flower? Books say November to
January and I recall from childhood we had fruit by Xmas. I have fine
healthy specimens 2m tall with no sign of flowers yet. How much is the time
influence by climate and location or cultivar?

I'm not sure what you mean by "black" mulberry, but ours has fruited and
been eaten. Sydney.

I mean Morus nigra, as opposed to the white mulberry or the shahtoot which
are fairly commonly grown.

G'day David, ours from a bit further south than yours also hasn't done
much this year. Usually it would have fruited and been picked and eaten
by now, but I only saw a few fruit there this year (and the birds/bats
got most of those).
