Help ID this tree, cutting candidate?

17 years ago

I'm trying to add the photo, I'll describe it also. It's 8'-10' tall, the branches kind of twist around each other in the middle, then droop almost to the ground, spreads about6'-8' across. The bark is grey, medium texture. When it leaves out,the leaves are kind of oval or heart shaped, dark shiny green, around 3" across. Any guesses? I'm wondering if it would be a good tree to try a cutting from?

Thanks everyone!

Hey Shelley,

I'm not much of a plant expert, but I think that it may be a weeping mulberry of some sort. Check out the attached link to see if there's some semblance (your pic is kinda blurry, but I've seen very many weeping mulberries with that same form). Hope that this helps!

Yes!! I just found it, Chaparrel Weeping Mulberry. So, do you think a cutting would make a good bonsai eventually? It has very large leaves.
Hey, Thanks for responding, didn't know if anyone would look in the gallery.
