I live in Sabine County and have several mulberry trees on my property, Guess the birds planted them.

Hemphill?

Will it survive in snow?

[@TexasGardenerd]

My guess is hell no.

[@johnjslatteryherbalist]

it experiences temporary snow and freezing temps in AZ. i'd say up to 48hrs below freezing is not too uncommon. up to 4500' at least.

Where can we buy this plant?

[@TexasGardenerd]

There are plenty at my Home Depot in Houston, Texas (West Loop 610 Location) so you could order online, its growing like a champ and has a THIIIICK root stock, big shiny plastic looking leaves, so I would shop online @ home depot, should be 20 or 30 bucks. Note - the one I got is a plant not a tree, beware because some that you randomly buy are 20-30 foot trees!
