Description
The mulberry tree has had a profound impact on human history and culture. Its leaves were a crucial food source for silkworms, leading to the widespread adoption of silk production across nations. The tree's bark was used to create the first paper, while its fruit inspired poets from Ovid to Shakespeare. This sumptuously illustrated book tells the story of the mulberry tree's migrations from China and Central Asia to almost every continent. It reveals the rich history behind this emblematic tree, exploring its medicinal properties and their ongoing impact on modern research.
