Very helpful to know, since I have several mulberry trees.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I don't know why I didn't think to look into this before.

I'm sprouting several mulberry tree cuttings right now. My neighbor asked why since birds and people are going to steal the berries? I said it's the leaves I want. I would love to have berries, but that's just a perk.

I had thought about trying a mulberry tree but wasn't sure that they would grow successfully in my area. However, I found a lady selling mulberries at a local farmers market. So that has me excited to search out a mulberry tree for next spring.
Didn't know about making a tea from the leaves. Just thought they were a fruit producer. Excellent info. Thanks for posting @RustBeltCowgirl.

I have eaten the young mulberry leaves for a number of years. I never had looked int the medicinal potential. I tried one once and liked the way it tased. Now I will harvest some for tea. Thank you @RustBeltCowgirl.

Thank you! I have a mulberry tree that has yet to fruit so it seems I can still use it for food.

@RustBeltCowgirl Now that sounds good!! Thanks for posting!

I can't believe my mulberry cuttings are blooming. I broke a couple of branches off of a large mulberry tree and stuck them in moist dirt in the fall. It's now almost spring, and they can't wait. I'm wondering if I should remove them, so they put their efforts into growing roots instead of berries.

I am going to have to try this. I have 3 beautiful plants growing thanks to the generosity of a forum friend 😊
