I know because I work in a kindergarten classroom and we are raising silkworms. And silkworms only eat the leaves of mulberry. Those bracts are developing, yummy mulberry fruit...

They are worth growing. To distract the birdies from your other trees at least. They tasted sorta bland, compared to some of the other berries, but I still enjoyed them.
