The tree can grow up to 30 feet tall and is often cultivated for its leaves, which are the primary food source for silkworms, making it important in the silk industry. In addition to its agricultural significance, white mulberry has various medicinal uses. Its leaves, bark, and fruits are believed to have health benefits, including potential effects on blood sugar levels and cholesterol. The tree is also valued for its shade and ornamental qualities in landscaping.
