Mulberry?

I assume this is a Mulberry tree?

Any idea what type? Morus rubra...alba...nigra...papyrifera L...hybrid...etc?

"If the leaf is short and the base is heart-shaped, it is probably a black mulberry leaf. If the leaves have rounded teeth on the edges, it is either white or red mulberry; white mulberry leaves are glossy while red ones are less so. If the leaf is densely hairy, it comes from a paper mulberry tree."

"The Texas mulberry resembles the red type, but is about one-third its size."

"White, red and black mulberry trees have lobed leaves, but the white mulberry's leaves have a wide variety of lobe patterns, even on the same tree, with some leaves that may not be lobed at all."
