@howtohistory.bsky.socialNew from @joesaunders1.bsky.social and @howtohistory.bsky.social. A 2,000-year mini-biography of the English mulberry tree! Huguenots brought textile skills into England and the word cocoon into English. (Caterpillars eating leaves gave the raw material for silk.) how-to-history.com/2026/09/30/m...

Show PostReally interesting about planting mulberries for silk. We’re proud of ours on Waterside, Knaresborough, reputedly planted by James I. Quite a contrast with the town’s flax and linen heritage! Still fruiting, too. #OnePlaceWednesday
