mulberry cultivation

Mulberry cultivation involves growing mulberry trees, primarily known for their leaves, which are the main food source for silkworms in silk production. These trees thrive in well-drained, sunny locations and can adapt to various soil types. They typically require regular watering, especially in dry periods, and benefit from occasional fertilization. Mulberries produce small, sweet, dark-colored fruits that are nutritious and can be eaten fresh or used in jams and desserts. The cultivation process supports not only silk production but also contributes to local economies through fruit harvesting and ecological benefits by providing shade and habitat for wildlife.
