Tree ID please guys

Hi guys. I had another customer message me asking to confirm the exact species of this tree in the picture.

 

Can anyone help?

 

thanks as always

Looks like mulberry but not very good picture

I've never seen a mulberry in the wild but if it was, would not the fruit have drawn some attention to it by now?

You can get non fruiting mulberry

I've heard of that now you mention it.

Wasn't there something about a victorian* entrepeneur who was going to set up an english silk weaving industry but bought over hundreds of the non-fruiting variety by mistake?

Maybe twas on Local Heroes or MWRT.

They were in a garden that held the remnants of his endeavours.

 

See you next time!!!!

Sorry tomo, I worded that badly; I wasn't casting doubt on your I.D. but was meaning to comment on the possible lack of observation of the owner regarding the fruit.

No offence taken my I.D could still be wrong

Looks nothing like any mulberry I’ve encountered.

Malus aforethought you could say.
