Has anyone here grown these or have them still? I ask because we are interested in trying these out, but need to know more about them... taste, growth rate, and so on... any help would be great and thanks in advance.

Someone add to this post. There are Mulberries on the property but the only animals that eat them are birds and raccoons. Do they make good jelly?

Now DLD are we talking about an annual? or a tree?
Mulberry (morus) family trees have had a long role in human cultivation. Going from fodder for silk-worms to animal and people food. It comes in several fruit colors. White, pink, red, and black. I would find fresh fruiting examples and eat some before you buy.
Mulberry have long been stooled (or coppiced) to keep fruit and leaves in easy reach. its got wood suitable for cabinet work. It like hackberry (celtis) does not hold up in exterior construction.
I do know of people who do not like mulberry growing over driveways or their house--because of fruit drop staining things.
There is a nasty (IMO) nightshade annual that has a name (that I disremember right now) that gets muddled into the tree. I'd rather eat raw highbush cranberry (((ick))).
