mildred this one is for you. the mulberry is the fruit from the tree that produces the leaves that silkworms eat. at my grandson's school i was the only person with a tree and i had to pick FRESH leaves twice a day for the greedy grubs to munch on .thankfully they have spun their cocoons and no longer need feeding.

How tall does the mulberry tree grow?

We had silk worms one year in second grade, but fortunately, several of my students had the trees in their yards and they took turns bringing in leaves. =) Here in Phoenix, Arizona, there are *lots* of mulberries, but most of the trees are fruitless.
