I'm pretty sure there isn't any difference in which ones you use as long as they haven't been sprayed - the silk worm suppliers who sell trees sell the dwarf white ones -
I love using leaves - they are much easier than making the chow and figuring how much to give them before it goes bad - but the ones I have have been eating the leaves like crazy -
pigglett79 blog on rearing and breeding is great -
