White vs red mulberry tree

Dillsburg, PA

Hi, I have a mulberry tree in my yard and was hoping someone could help me in identifying whether it is a white or red mulberry (or perhaps a hybrid). If it’s a white mulberry, I’ll definitely be cutting it down but won’t do so if it’s red. Thanks for any insight you can provide! Also, I can repost in plant identification if that’s be more appropriate

You have a lot of plant there. To confirm identity well, I suggest you cut off a decent length of branch (3 - 5 feet) and lay it down somewhere to get clear photos of all of its parts.

I really think you have a White/Asian Mulberry there (Morus alba) but some additional information is always helpful. White Mulberry typically have pretty smooth and shiny leaves, compared to coarser rougher foliage of Red Mulberry.
