White mulberry leaves are the preferred feedstock for silkworms, and are also cut for food for livestock (cattle, goats, etc.)
in areas where dry seasons restrict the availability of ground vegetation.
The leaves are prepared as tea in Korea.
The fruit are also eaten, often dried or made into wine.

For landscaping, a fruitless mulberry was developed from a clone for use in the production of silk in the U.S. The industry never materialized, but the mulberry variety is now used as an ornamental tree where shade is desired without the fruit.
A weeping cultivar of white mulberry, Morus alba 'Pendula', is a popular ornamental plant.
The species has become a popular lawn tree across the desert cities of the southwestern United States, prized for its shade and also for its cylindrical berry clusters composed of sweet, purplish-white fruits.
The plant's pollen has become problematical in some cities where it has been blamed for an increase in hay fever.
