How to tell a Mulberry by it's leaf shape! 

Too much talk. Why not say on the left is.. and on the right is ...

Unnecessarily lengthy video.

I’ve got to say that was horrible to get through. You didn’t explain the variations or species apart like you said in beginning. Just a “well can’t really tell” at the end. Plus, that yapping rats next door.

Eureka! I thought I had a young Maple that sprouted all by its lonesome, until today. I just found that it has a BERRY hanging off of it!! It has leaves just like the small tree @ 4:30. I was thinking maybe Silver Maple .... no. Thanks!

So that was a really long video that didn't give any info at all

You didnt say what types are the mulberries from the leaf shape. Wth

Thank you for showing all the different leaves because the tree that's near by has the round ones. But google snapshot said mulberry fig. Cool

Wasting time ..

Useless lengthy video. Stop wasting time

Video did not answer my question, but confirms what I am experiencing. I have this seedling with a "weird" leaf shape. My "seek" software on my iphone tells me its a Mulberry of sorts, but what kind? The leaf shape is close to those "castor bean" mulberry leaves you have in your pot, but not quite. The conclusion I come to, as you confirm in your video is "can't tell"; I'll have to wait until it grows a little more. Thanks. Video was actually helpful.

My mullberry is 16 ft tall in 15 gal container thin trunk want it shorter when is best time of munch to cut it down to 6 ft tall thanks

I like thst you showed the leaf variation. I have cuttings of a black berry mulberry tree. Some of the leaves are indeed similar to a fig leaf having three "fingers" at the top and rounded lobes at the base.

I just bought 2 different Mulberry trees cuttings From Fruit bearing trees do I need a Male tree myself to get fruit?

Leaf patterns are so overpowered

So did you find out what is the difference between them apart from the leaves?

I got a 7 ft Pakistani Mulberry as a gift. It was root bound and the leaves and berries are uncharacteristically small for the Pakistani variety. Your video gives me hope that it wasn't mislabeled and just needs to mature up for a few year to bear those 3-5 in berries they are known for.

Thank you

I have two odd trees the birds planted in the backyard with very funky looking leaves that I was told were mulberry trees. About 10 foot tall now but no berries. I need to prune them but if I take a few photos tommorrow could you confirm that ID ?

Good video

I’ve always been fascinated by the extreme variation in leaf shapes and lobe patterns in mulberry leaves. Some of the mulberry leaf shapes on young mulberries, new shoots on mature mulberries, or on distressed mulberries can be highly irregular to downright bizarre looking. I’m intrigued by the mulberry leaves that look so similar to the shape of silver maple leaves. I once found a mulberry tree with leaves almost identical to silver maple leaves that happened to be located between an older mulberry tree with more typical looking mulberry leaves and an older silver maple. This led me to wonder if perhaps the mulberry with the silver maple looking leaves was perhaps a hybrid creation of the nearby mulberry and silver maple. I’ve been unable to locate any information indicating whether it’s possible for silver maples and mulberries to hybridize. I also wonder if perhaps the roots of the mulberry with the silver maple looking leaves perhaps intertwined with the roots of the nearby silver maple causing it to exhibit traits of the silver maple. I haven’t found any information indicating that a tree can start to exhibit traits of a nearby tree that it has fused with.

Not quite. The one on the left is 100% a Morus alba. R is Morus nigra. L is definately aint a fig either
