SUMMARY:Red Mulberry Search and Rescue - NAFEX 2025 Virtual Conference\, Session 7
DESCRIPTION:Red mulberry (Morus rubra) produces delicious\, complex fruit and shows strong potential for both backyard and commercial production — yet they’re slowly disappearing as invasive white mulberries (Morus alba) threaten to hybridize them out of existence. \nWorking with a team of researchers\, Weston Lombard led the Mulberry Search and Rescue Contest to crowdsource pure rubra specimens\, DNA-test them\, and identify the best specimens for potential distribution. Early results are promising: pure or nearly pure red mulberries still exist\, and with preservation and propagation\, this important native fruit may yet thrive. \nJoin Weston to learn more about this ongoing research and how to grow and preserve red mulberry in your orchard. \n— \nThis interactive webinar is part of the North American Fruit Explorers (NAFEX) 2025 Virtual Conference\, featuring three days of inspiring and informative online sessions for fruit growers\, November 6-8\, via ZOOM or by phone. Participate and ask questions in real time or watch the recorded sessions later. \nThe conference is open to fruit growers of all experience levels and will feature 8 sessions and 9 speakers over 3 days.
