|  what kind of tree is this? I noticed this tree/bush growing on the corner of my house. Its about 10 ft. tall. I dont recall planting anything there. I think with some pruning it would make a fine tree if indeed thats what it is....anyway thanks for your time on this....  |

| Re: what kind of tree is this? a gift brought to you, most likely from a bird. a mulberry tree. i personaly wouldn't want one growing close to my house for the reason that the fruit they bare attracts all kinds of wildlife and are very messy. they grow very fast. the root system is tough and persistant, making removal of the stump necessary if you decide cut the tree down. i would consider transplanting the tree to the back yard if possible. |

| Re: what kind of tree is this? The mulberry is too close to the house. At maturity its trunk can exceed 4 feet in diameter with even a larger diameter at grade. Lots of surface roots play havoc with sidewalks, driveways, and even house foundations. If it were mine, I'd destroy it. Transplanting a weed tree is a lot of trouble for a tree worth very little. |
