Mulberry tree is a treasure in its entirety. In addition to its role in ecological construction, its leaves can be used to raise silkworms and have similar nourishing and anti-aging effects as ginseng.

Mulberry leaves can be used to make mulberry tea, mulberry leaf beverages, seasonings, skin care products, and health food. Mulberry tea is known as a longevity tea in Japan, and Japan adds mulberry leaf powder to flour, making health bread expensive. The thin branches of mulberry trees are soft and elastic, making them good materials for carrying loads and making poles. The thick and dry wood of mulberry trees is hard and has clear wood grain, making it a high-quality material for furniture. Mulberry roots can be used to make antihypertensive drugs, which have special effects on strokes and neurological diseases. Mulberry branches can cultivate mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms and white fungus, and can also produce fiberboard, artificial cotton, paper, and pectin.

Mulberry trees are perennial leafy plants with strong resistance to pruning. Pruning mulberry branches once a year solves the problem of firewood for rural life, protects forests, and increases forest coverage. In recent years, many areas in China have established large-scale mulberry orchards on gentle slopes, such as Sichuan, Chongqing, Shandong, Shaanxi, and even slopes below 25 degrees have been planted with mulberry trees.
Mulberry trees can grow in loess plateaus and deserts. In loess plateau and desert areas, the groundwater level is low and the soil layer is deep. Mulberry tree roots can develop deep underground and have strong drought resistance.
