Mulberries or other bushes indoors? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

Running into mixed messages while reading about whether mulberries can be grown indoors or not. Does anyone know if they require their cold periods to live and function, or will they be healthy but simply not make fruit? I'd love to grow a berry bush or a similar sized ornamental shrub inside, but I do not have access to an outdoor space to give it chilling time. Has anyone done this before?

They’ll grow assuming you get a suitable variety, just not fruit much if at all.

The issue here is comparative advantage: the #1 factor in the plant growing well is going to be your lighting. Unless your residence is a houseplant paradise, good lighting is probably a limited resource you could put to better use with a more traditional indoor plant.
