 ??? Jeff, I found an unsual leaf I wanted you to identify for me.  I was trying to download it to your website but I guess the file is too big.  I will send it to your sister as I do not have your e-mail address.  Maybe she can forward it to you.

Hey Tammy, how did you know it was me??  I was trying to be clever so you wouldn't know who this was.  lol Anyways, Jason e-mailed me and I sent the pic onto him. It wasn't a real clear pic but enough so he could tell what it was, I hope. Maybe I will try later to download the pic again.

Thanks Furby for posting my pic.  Do you know what kind of tree it is?

Does anyone know?

Looks like mulberry to me, but it's been a while since I've seen a leaf so I could be way off.
Where did you find?

If it's not a mulberry, it's the same shape as a sassafras to.

I don't think it's a mulberry as I didn't see any berries so maybe it's a sassafras. I found it in downtown Waukegan, Illinois this past fall. I found the leaf to be so very intresting that I had to find out what it was.  Thanks!

Hey Furby, I've been in Grand Rapids as well. I went to college there up on Beltline.  Back then it was Called Grand Rapids Baptist College. I forgot what they changed the name to now.  We used to go up to Michigan Hill...kind of like inspiration point. There also used to be the weather ball did they move it or just got rid of it? I've also been to John Ball Park & Zoo. So you see the world is sort of small huh?

Mullberry is my vote as Sassafrass has a smooth leaf edge.

It is definitely mulberry.  The mulberries are long gone, assuming the tree was a female.  If it was a male, no berries, never.

Definitely not sassafras.

Don't know anything about mulberry.

This leaf looks very similar to a landscaping bush sold alot around here, called oak leaf hydrangea.

I agree with mulberry and probably white mulberry as well. It's white that has the most ornamental shaped leaves even though Red or Black may have a few.   The first white mulberry leaf I ever saw reminded me of a chinese pagoda and I've never forgotten it.   They have all kinds of angles and are generally symetrical so that there are parts that look like spear tips or multi-roofed chinese buildings.

Here's a picture of a White Mulberry leaf I posted years ago.  Pretty distinctive.

Yup, no doubt about it.  :)

If it is red mulberry, it will be scrabrous, rough to the tongue, like sandpaper.  If it is white mulberry, it will be smooth as a baby's bottom, and that is real smooth... ;D.

That would be Cornerstone University, I go past there a lot in the summer.

Weather ball was removed a long time ago, and brought back to life several years back by WZZM13.
It's now located at their station at the junction of US-131 and Alpine Ave.

Been a loooooong time since I've been up on the hill, might have to go up there sometime soon.
Yup, it is a small world, the forum proves that!

So you guys can say with a great deal of accuracy that is is Mulberry and it's a male one as there were no berries on it?  Yeah, I know you said that the berries are long gone.  However, I got this leaf before the fall leaf changes and I saw no berry stains on the ground etc. I guess I will have to wait until next year to see if it has berries or not.

Jeff, I am Pete's sister not his sister-in-law.  I am Lynda's sister-in-law.  Just for the record.  lol  :)

Yes, I would love to go to your pig roast next year. But I may not be able to. I will be taking my vacation in August but we are going to go to the Harley Davidson 105th anniversary ride in Milwaukee.  Never been there or done that and don't know when they'll have the next one.  We will have to wait and see and play it by ear.

Check for those berries in Mid-May to Mid-June.

Now anneoakleaf, Jeff said that you were Pete's sister, he just said it in a complicated way. ;D

I have no signs of berries under or around my trees a couple weeks after they are all off the tree.
So I really doubt you'd see any signs at all in the fall.
