Default Request leaf ID

I have looked at tree after tree trying to identify the tree this leaf came from. The tree is
located in SW Ohio. Seems to be very hearty and grows quite rapid.

Thanks!

Default Request leaf ID

Hi,

Looks to me like it could be Morus. Check, e.g.,
http://132.236.163.181/cgi-bin/dol/d...ank=binomia l
(and note that not all leaves of Morus alba have this shape - but you
clearly see them on picture DOL23934).

But you also might want to check Broussonetia, of the same family
Moraceae (to which, incidentally, also the Maclura of another post of
last week belongs).

Jan,
You hit the nail firmly and squarely on the head. It is a White Mulberry, Morus alba. Thanks
for the help. Now the grandkids will continue to wonder how grandpa got so smart. Please keep
my secret.
Thanks again.
Jim..
