Holy shoot, I think your right! I always forget that mulberry has more than one type of leaf.
I went out to my mulberry tree and found an identical leaf to the attached one.
Sure did, filled the bottom of the truck with big rounds, covered with limbs to make as big of a load as I could haul. The tires on Henry are pretty squat.
Great stuff,one of my favs. Quite plentiful in the Midwest & eastern US,I usually get a truckload or so every year,sometimes a little more.Never turn it down even if I'm getting short on storage space.
Primo. Just be careful stirring the coals, when you do get to burn it. Shoots a lotta sparks.
I've been hoping to find some and now that I know it I will certainly not pass it up. It is my favorite fruit, my favorite smoke, and will most likely be one of my favorite fire woods.
Uh, I hate to break it to ya but what you have there is....
MULBERRY
I brought in some mulberry a couple months back, it's lost the yellow color and now has turned a shade of copperish/salmonish/brownish.

The worst part, I just used hickory to smoke my peppers for chipotles yesterday.

Where do you guys find these trees?
suburbs? woods? lawn trees?
A cousin just gave me 2 leaves to find an answer to. One is crazy and the other looks like your pic. They had two trees right next to each other planted at the edge of their property. One of the trees has the spade shaped leaves the other is the weird margined leaves. They appeared to be White mulberry. White berry drupes. But Im not sure.
My best friend bought a house that had a huge Red one planted in her front yard. Are the Red/black mulberrys the ones that are native to U.S.?
Red mulberry is native, black and white are Asian. I got,this one from county seat's tree dump, someone had just dumped it. The one growing in my yard is a transplant from an abandoned house nearby, raised it from a sapling. They seem to grow wild but a lot of people have them in their yard. Both my parent and my brothers property had a couple, my neighbors have one. They line the baseball diamond here in town as well.

Just got about a cord and a half yesterday (will work on pictures tonight. The arborist needs to return today to cut the stump down. Should hook up with him then to help finish the job. I am loaded down with wood but will always make room for mulberry and locust.
They are good wildlife trees; Berries are edible by critters and humans. We've got a lot of them in the woods here but they get out-competed by the taller stuff so they don't generally get real big.
Thanks for the pic, it is the same type of leaf. Im trying to parallel the wood splits to the species names. The Red mulberry my friend has, has leaves that are shaped like the mittens of sassafras leaves(Red Morus rubra)
The 2 my cousin gave me are both included in your pics. The standard leaf and the crazy leaf.
Thank God I pressed them. They have the White mulberry (Morus alba) I am guessing.
Or trying to figure out.
