Mulberry maybe

I was wandering the woods, pulling out saw briar and poison ivy along my paths, and I saw a tree with spectacular leaves. I took a picture and ran it through the iNaturalist app, which suggested that I may have a mulberry tree. Squee! There is a spectacular mulberry tree in town, and I’ve been plotting where to plant one, so to discover it growing in the woods is the absolute best. Then I found another one. They are both young trees, one about 8’ tall and the other about 5’, and growing in the partial shade of some mature oak and cedar elm, so I’m not sure how they will do long term or for fruit production. I cleared out the vegetation underneath them to give them a better chance, and found two more small saplings! Now I’m hoping for a mulberry grove…
