Are you local to this or was it a vacation photo?
That's why I asked. The closest I can get was hibiscus (I now agree that
mulberry is out). I did look up poplar (aka tulip), but nixed it on the
basis of the leaves.
I snapped more picture of the whole plant (shrub/bush/tree?), in situ,
today as it is near where I live. You can see that it's 25 to 30 feet tall
but only about 4 inches thick at the trunk although it has many trunks
(almost like a hugely tall bush).
The new pictures (of the whole shrug/tree/bush?) are posted here.
