Ok… I have a positive ID… Pictured above is a leaf from a white mulberry, note the pronounced jagged edge of the leaf. I took a buncha pictures for comparison… http://stonethegardener.tumblr.com/post/48536016896/mulberry-study

I really can’t say which mulberry that is, or even if it’s a male or female… based on that single leaf… Likely it’s the native red mulberry… and a desirable bird attractant… You’ll want to compare to the imported white mulberry, and the invasive paper mulberry…
