Help me identify this as mulberry (morus alba).

Went mulberry hunting today with my lady. I am pretty sure we found Morus Alba, but I would love some more confirmation.

What do you guys think?

I say that's the correct one.
Perhaps, some others can agree or disagree.

Thanks for the reply Franz. A good number of them seem to be munching happily away. There is a HUGE tree just down the street. Sadly the lowest leaves are like 7 feet up. Luckily I am 6 feet tall, but local short chameleon owners would have some trouble.

hey does anyone know if there are any that naturally grow in South Texas? and/or what i should look for in one if it does?

They always plant them in front of schools. That is almost a sure fire way to find one.

Looks like the right tree to me. Now you wont have to order chow when you order your silkworms from me. ..............

To tell you the truth, now that I have free food, getting bulk silkworms is no skin off my back.

If I plan a trip to the valley, I will let you know beforehand for sure. Your prices are pretty spectacular.

I wasn't aware of any plants that grow naturally in Texas......isn't it all a desert??

Exactly where we found them.
Seemed to have the best luck with elementary schools.
