    I'm in growing zone 6 and i found some of these that should grow here. I'm probably going to order a dozen of them. I have a 1 acre food forest. The more diverse the better. It's a cousin of the Mulberry.

      There is a huge forest behind my house with hundreds of Mulberries. I have an unlimited supply.

    In my research it seemed that many people recommend the one sold by Edible Landscaping as the best. It's seedless and self fertile. I got mine from them it arrived healthy and has put on some amazing growth. It took me a couple seasons of trying to get theirs.

    All tree can.be graphed your thinking about hybridization grafting is growing a different tree species into one tree the two species combine

    Thank you for the information. I am starting an orchard in zone 7b in Tennessee. I am interested in growing rare fruit trees that can adapt well to my area, and I came across your video while researching about melonberry.

    I have a seedless che. It taste like cantaloupe to me. I don't like cantaloupe. My kids love it! Try the Chicago fig.

    I am sure bringing a pair of scissors on your next trip will not harm or hinder the tree...just take a few clippings and try

    I am 7a also in South Jersey and planted one last fall. It grew pretty good for 1 year thus far.

    That must be the original "Norris" che tree. It's pronounced "chay", not "chee".

      I'm thinking you are correct. I even have a friend from China that I called to help and he hadn't even heard of them.

      They are seedless. Only through grafting or air layer

    You can graft it on Osage Orange, if that grows in your area.
