Is it possible to do this, I have some mulberry trees around with leaves still on them for now and I would like to know if I can store them through the winter for later use as silkworm food.

they won't last. You can try freezing them in an ziploc-type bag with ther air sucked out (close the bag with leaves in it except for a little corner. Literally suck the remaining air out of it (yes, with your mouth) and zip up. Put in fridge.
Depending on the amount of moisture in a leaf and general composition they may turn to mush. You will also lose some of the nutritive value. I would keep chow on hand just in case. Also, don't know if you are currently rearing them, but as they grow they eat a LOT of food and I doubt you'd be able to store enough. just my thoughts
