HI KsGirl-
Just some thoughts... From what I understand, IE mullberry can get very large, so unless you're willing to really prune it, perhaps it will be a very different size than your semi-dwarfs? Also, mullberries stain very badly... make sure they're not so close to the driveway that they drop the berries in the driveway. If you walk down your driveway, you don't want want to step in the mulberries and track them back into the house? (Or track them into your garage with your tires?) All this from a guy who is planting his IE in another month, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

The differing sizes between the mulberry and semi-dwarf fruit trees is what I was concerned about also. The driveway is gravel, and it extends from the road to a gate, after which there is another long driveway into the ranch. The first driveway is where I would put the trees.

Glenn - do you already have some Illinois Everbearing trees, and if so, do you like them so far? Or are you ordering them for the first time? The type that normally grows is in KS is the Russian Mulberry. I haven't seen any of the Illinois Everbearing in person - I've only read about them. I wish I could find a semi-dwarf mulberry with large fruit!

Hi KSGirl-
I'm afraid this will be my first mullberry, though I did quite a bit of research before I settled on IE. Good luck! -Glenn

Esthetically a mulberry lined driveway will look very good, the trees shading the gravel road... The dwarf pear and apples will not look good there though, they are too small.

I suppose you could plant cherries, they too become substantial trees eventually. You could consider chestnuts and walnuts too, though these will be bigger trees. Everything else will look too small next to them. Can you live with only these four?

Hello, glib: I'm open to all ideas. I did already talk to Burnt Ridge Nursery and I ordered 5 of the Silk Hope Mulberries for now for the driveway. Mike at BRN said they are similar but better than the Illinois Everbearing mulberries (the fruit is sweeter and a little larger). He was VERY helpful. I also ordered some semi-dwarf fruit trees for a separate orchard area. We currently have a lot of black walnut trees on the property, so I would be open to more of those or the chestnuts on the driveway in addition the mulberries if they would look good together. Did you have other ideas?

don't put any black walnuts in there, they are too troublesome. I was thinking of english walnuts. Mulberry-cherry is good, but then the fruiting season is only 6 weeks, because their crops largely overlap.

English walnuts sound good - I may try that, thanks!

Since your original question was about aesthetics that is what I will answer. It can be hard to restrict yourself to just one kind of tree, but that is what will look most beautiful. Repeating the same kind of tree will have a rhythm, like music, and the variation of the individual tree forms will be like the variations on a theme that music has as well. Given that you have lots of other places to grow as much fruit as you like, here I would pick the kind of tree that is the most handsome in your eyes, and plant that one along the entire length.
