Maybe varieties too are different? I know I never really liked the mulberries I ever had, but when my daughter rented a house going to college, there was a mulberry tree with really good tasting fruit. I have never eaten the leaves, but I bet there is a difference in leaf taste, too.
All of the trees that I take leaves from are fruitless. There might be a difference in species, or amount of watering they get. I doubt any of them get much watering other than the dismal amount of rainfall we have had here in Southern Cal. The texture of the leaves and the color look and feel the same. I have watched Chuck inhale a leaf the size of a catchers mitt, eat the stem and some of the new growth that produced the leaf. It's really fun to drop a freshly cut branch in his pen and watch him eat it clean.
