What's this plant?

<< < (4/6) > >>

PrimitiveTim:
This is why I say red mulberry.  I've never seen any with lobes that deep but the leaf is almost exactly like the one below which is a red mulberry.
Here's my source:  http://www.bio.brandeis.edu/fieldbio/Edible_Plants_Ramer_Silver_Weizmann/Pages/spp_page_Mulberry.html

Compare the red mulberry (top) to the mystery leaf (bottom)



I've made my case.  Make of it what you wish.

RidgeRunner:
I am with Tim on this one.
It looks like a Mulberry to me.

Cut into one of the stems and see if Sticky White sap comes out.
Also....  I think Mulberry has a fiberes inner bark that will peal off in strips.
Try and peal off a strip of bark as well.

I think you got it, Timmy ;D ;) I take back what I said about Mulberry I'm more accustomed to seeing White Mulberry.

Jim Davis:
It does have white sticky sap.

Not big enough to have  bark to peel. I plan to encourage this one so maybe it will produce some berries.

Thanks for all the help.

Jim

  I never seen any mulberry like that down here except paper mulberry.  The young seem to have more lobes as I've never seen any big mulberries with such deep lobes.
