The white mulberry (*Morus alba*) is a species of mulberry tree native to Asia. It's known for its fast growth and adaptability to various climates. The leaves are a primary food source for silkworms, essential for silk production. The fruits can range from white to pink to dark purple, though often less flavorful than other mulberry species. 🐛 Think of it as the silkworm's favorite food source. Despite its name, the fruit isn't always white.
