I think it is Mulberry too. We have lots of them on our property in WI. Racoons and deer like them.Mulberry?
From what I have seen around my place... the younger mulberry trees have leaves like yours. As they mature, the leaves get more like footballs and the multiple lobes tend to go away - I think!Thanks guys.
Mulberry was what I init thought but when I looked at some internet pics, the leaves were basically shaped like a football and the fruit looked like elongated blackberries.
My young tree had only a few, tiny berries and they were round.
Nevertheless, I agree that it is mulberry...1st one I've had growing on my place.
Thanks guys.

If it ever makes fruit, the birds will do plenty of propagating for you. Haha!Try to propagate more. They are excellent wildlife trees.

No worries about the location in this case. It's in heavy cover/ sanctuary a couple hundred yards from the house. Lots of overhead cover so it's not getting much sunlight.They're filthy trees. Don't plant them near your house. The berries get on everything,it seems. They paint the bottom of your shoes, and then you track purple juice through your house. Birds will flock to the tree to eat the berries and drop purple bird potty on your cars and patio furniture. And they have a growth habit of stretching their dense canopy higher and higher every year while terminating lower growth that no longer receives sunlight. This means a constant barrage of dead sticks and limbs dropping from the tree as it matures.
They're great for wildlife, but keep them as far from your home as you possibly can.
Agreed. Very messy and lots of rot... best to have a good distance from the house.They're filthy trees. Don't plant them near your house. The berries get on everything,it seems.
