I love mulberrys. Second only to raspberries. The wild ones are fine but are there any that have been cultivated for better fruit production that have worked well for you?

I planted a variety about 5 years ago that was suppose to be "everbearing" or something like that. And it does set berries 2 or three times a year but they are too small to be worth picking (small kidney bean size). I'm thinking of cutting it down and planting a wild one in its place but first was going to see if there is anything better.

Question: Do you spray your mulberry trees for pest control?

Where I once lived they had wild mulberry trees growing next to a good size pond and the trees would put out tons of beautiful berries every year, but when looked at closely I'd see very tiny white maggot like worms crawling between the small round balls that formed the fruit.

Being wild, I knew nobody was tending to the trees.
