I dont know the location of the original Mulberry Bush. I recently watched a gardening program that ran a feature on mullberry. It seams that people were paid to plant mullberry trees to boost the flagging mill industry. Unfortunatly the trees everyone was planting was the wrong type of mullberry and not the type that is host to silk worms. I think one of the old universities claims to have 'one' of the original trees. Sorry cant remember which one. Each year there is summer work for students wanting to pick the fruit. Hope this is of some help.
