I found this tree while trimming trails today.  I'm not sure what it is. 





I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

I'll be excited if that's mullberry.  I didn't think we had any on our property.

That was Greg that saw the mythical mullberry tree on my place.  It wasn't this one.  We never went on this part of the property.

Yep, mulberry. If there is one, there are others. Birds sew the seeds.

Thanks guys.  Now I need to go back and read the bark a little closer to see if its worth cutting.  I'd like to make a mullberry bow from my place.  Then again, I might just let it grow.  I didn't see any berries on it.

I think I can figure it out Dbar.   


The best thing about this tree is that it's right next to a trail if I decide to cut it.

I think red and white vary greatly regarding bow wood. Maybe find out before you snip it down.

Mulberry for sure. Mulberry trees come in male or female. When people buy fruitless mulberries, they are buying trees that are grafted males. The only way I know now to tell the difference is to wait till spring and look at the blooms. The female blooms look like tiny bulberries, and the male blooms look like little fuzzies with no berry at the center. Some mulberry trees have two shapes of leaves on one tree. I don't remember whether that is the female type or whether it can occur on either sex.
