The trees (and also their corresponding seedlings)
seem rather different from one another.

I /suspect/ the botanical gardens tree is a
Morus rubra - and the Royal Fort Gardens
tree is a Morus nigra - but I'm open to
more knowledgable suggestions on this front.

I also have a single specimin of Morus alba
(which I believe is silkworm fodder).
I think both trees are Morus nigra.

This is what Morus rubra looks like:

The second seedling isn't a Morus at all, it is a weed.
