Red Mulberry (Morus rubra)Observer
mcharpentierDescription
Single sapling (ca 8 feet in height) observed in mesic forest. Both lobed and unlobed leaves present.
Leaves with secondary veins which curve before reaching the margins (Saar et al, 2012). Vein pattern consistent throughout. Adaxial leaf surface pubescent with stiff hairs which provide a scabrous texture. Abaxial surface pubescent throughout.
This site is underlain by a brownish-purple mesozoic basin sedimentary bedrock with laminae which readily separate.
Thanks to @threepogonias for assisting to confirm ID and for providing additional identification resources. An article published by Dayle E. Saar et al (2012; in Phytologia) proved particularly useful.
