Mulberry -----> very common, try nurseries in Malir, Korangi road, University road (near Karachi university)

Failing that have you tried nurseries in Bahrain for instance
Anne Al-Jalahma’s "The Garden Nursery" http://www.thegardennurserybahrain.com/

Thanks Izhar. Your information is so helpful. Sure I will try the places you have mentioned.

Thanks Newton. The nursery you have mentioned is one of the most expensive ones in Bahrain and they don't have much verities. Puls in Pakistan I will get better plants for cheaper prices.

Thanks allot everybody I appreciate your input.

In that case have you tried contacting them by phone ahead of your visit, It may be that they can bring in the varieties you require.
