It was usually in the upstairs bedrooms of these larger homes where silkworms were raised, and many of these houses planted one or two mulberry trees in their yards. Although mulberry planting and sericulture were once advocated by early Mormon leaders as a means to achieve economic self-sufficiency, ultimately this social and economic experiment failed, leaving relic mulberry groves dotted throughout Utah. Most of these groves have now disappeared in the wake of urban expansion. Preservation of a few relic trees is proposed as a means of preserving cultural ties to the past.
