Tatarian White Mulberry, also called Russian Mulberry, is the most cold hardy form of Morus alba. It is borderline in Zone 3 and more reliable in Zone 4, although Oak Summit Nursery is testing it in a sheltered prairie orchard. White Mulberry is also the traditional food plant for silkworms.
This is the white mulberry we consider most suitable for the Canadian prairies where a favourable microclimate and snow cover are available. In warmer provinces it can behave invasively and can hybridize with threatened native Red Mulberry populations, so it should be planted only where it is ecologically appropriate.

Or outside. Sow the seed outdoors in the fall and let winter do the cold period.
