I checked the the nursery I bought my white mulberry from, and they report that Malus alba will produce seedless berries UNLESS there is a male mulberry close enough to pollinate. They also say the white mulberry can be grown as either a tree or kept to a shrub, as it fruits on new wood. So, I assume I will see some suckering, not sure how much to expect. I did get one or two berries last year from my teeny little 3' whip, surprisingly. Looking for more this year, and also hoping it will put on some growth so I can prune the lower branches out of chicken range.
