It’s growing in a kinda no-mans spot between my neighbor, myself and maybe the alley. I’ve never seen any fruit on it but the other day it was loaded with something that looked like it could become mulberries. When I thought about getting a picture last night I could hardly find any, but had a bit of hail the day before

    Is there a way to tell white from red other than the berries?

    The top surface of the leaves on white is glossy, and on red it's dull. I think red leaves are larger too. I know there are a handful of red mulberry in our area, but virtually every the time we see a mulberry in CT it's white.
