Default [ID] what kind of tree is this?

Try googling on Google Images for "Morus leaves". I didn't find anything
exactly like it, but there is much similarity to Morus nigra. Do you find
fruits smashed on the ground around it?

I have one more photo:

I haven't seen any fruits, even on the tree..

Acording to informations on wikipedia*, now I think it is Morus nigra,
because i found it in Turkey (southwest Asia)..

=== * WIKIPEDIA SAYS:=========================
The following species are generally accepted:
* Morus alba (White Mulberry; eastern Asia)
* Morus australis (Chinese Mulberry; southeastern Asia)
* Morus mesozygia (African Mulberry; southern and central Africa)
* Morus microphylla (Texas Mulberry; south central North
America: Texas, Mexico)
* Morus nigra (Black Mulberry; southwest Asia)
* Morus rubra (Red Mulberry; eastern North America)
==============================================

Sorry for my english..
Thanks a lot for your help

The two pressed leaf images above strongly resemble paper
mulberry, Broussonetia papyrifera

http://www.msstate.edu/org/arboretum/papyrifera.htm
etc.

The plant in your other image

http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/205/img8329iy8.jpg

instead closely resembles white mulberry, _Morus alba_.

Are you sure the dry leaves are from the very same plant or
could they be from different individual trees?

The North American red mulberry, _Morus rubra_ more closely
resembles Broussonetia in its leaf shape [all of these species
are very variable in terms of lobing of the leaves], with similar
long-pointed lobe tips.

http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/c...s/MorusRu1.htm

One easy clue is the leaf arrangement: paper mulberry usually has
at least some of its leaves in opposite pairs, whereas the Morus
species all have strictly alternate phyllotaxy.
