This tree is growing on the fringes of my property, and I would like to know what it is. These
photos were taken last July, when I found it. It was around 10ish feet tall at the time. The
largest leaves are on the order of 10 inches wide, and can have one, two, or three lobes. I'd like
to, if possble, move it to a better spot, where I can see it and where it won't be choked to death
by vines (I just took a look at it today and removed some vines that had cut deep grooves into the
trunk). I am in South Carolina, but I have no idea if it is a native plant or not.

I'm reasonably sure that's the native red mulberry, _Morus rubra_.
Leaf lobing is very variable.

The introduced white mulberry _Morus alba_ has less rough leaves,
often smaller, a bit thicker, and shinier, and with less long-pointy
tips than those in your photo. They're also variously lobed or unlobed.

Another introduced member of the mulberry family often with similarly
lobed leaves to yours is the paper mulberry, Broussonetia papyrifera.
Its leaves are often opposite, and the fruits [only on female plants]
are quite different from the typical mulberries of the Morus species.
