Most mulberry trees have fruit. Does yours?
There is a fruitless kind. They are what I have. Your leaves are similar but I wouldn't call it.
Maybe @Yvonne G or @Tom can help. I think they might have the fruitless kind.

It does look like a mulberry. I get all sorts of different leaf growth from my 4. Can we get a pic of the trunk showing the bark? That will cement my answer.

Ever tried planting spineless cactus? My friend likes to plant them and his ST love it.
Yes i have , I took a pad from my buddies and layed it on some wet soil and it grew roots and several pads, but I let it die on accident but now just might have to give it a shot again thanks!

Glad to see you got confirmation on your tree. I forgot too take pics of mine, sorry. Got busy doing yard work and totally forgot. Doing yard work, you'd think would have reminded me lol.
