The mulberry family is most important as the basis of the silkworm industry; silkworms feed on the leaves of the mulberries (genus Morus) and sometimes of the Osage orange (Maclura pomifera).

A similar tree is the weeping white mulberry (Morus alba 'Pendula', Zone 4), with a pleasing umbrella shape that provides young children with a wonderful hiding place. It can grow to about two metres wide.

Three types, Morus rubra; red; Morus nigra, black; and Morus alba, white. Not native and not common but grows well in Bermuda.
