This was in my yard when I bought my house, anyone know what it is?

These are growing down along the hike and bike trail. What are they,
and do they flower?

??? I like it a lot. Very shady. It makes a nice roof for my boys
fort. But unless there's a berry-less version then that's not it
because it's never had any blooms or berries. Just big green leaves.

It looks like a red mulberry, Morus rubra. This is native and adapted
to moderate soil moisture conditions. There are male trees and female
trees and the males of couse have no berries. There are also
fruitless cultivars I believe as red mulberry is a useful landscape
tree.

You do not want a fruiting mulberry in the location you have this tree
as the berries are a real mess. Birds love the berries and they taste
great if you go to the trouble of picking them. But.......

Pruning the trees is also difficult as you can tell by the diverse
shape of the tree in your photo.

Many people consider Mulberry trees as "trash trees". You have a male which
is why it doesn't produce berries. Many people have severe allergies to
Mulberry trees, so watch out if someone in the family or neighbors have
allergic reactions to them.
