Yes, mulberries are worth it. They would be a very popular fruit if they could handle the rigors of transport.

If you can track on down in the UK I'd feverishly recommend Pawpaw (Asimina triloba), a custardy fruit with such tropical flavor you'd be shocked it is native to North America.

Nice to hear somebody mention pawpaws! Here's a short intro video/article: http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2011/09/29/140894570/the...

Thanks! Bought a new breed of mulberry for next year - https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/feb/19/remarka...

I managed to find a supplier for pawpaw but not sure it will fruit in this climate
