The leaves are much shorter and wider, the midrib and veins are less pronounced and go out at a angle, the petiole is much larger and is attached to the leaf at a angle.

You are near me right? You should be able to find them on flood plains along the savannah and probably other wet areas. There are a bunch of wild red mulberry at the Savannah River bluffs heritage preserve in north Augusta. I can hook you up with a seedling too. There is a wild one in the vacant lot next door and they sprout along my fence line constantly.

I don't know where in GA you are, but there are a bunch of mulberry trees on the riverwalk in downtown Albany, GA.
Thanks, I'm in Gwinnett right outside Atlanta. I can't seem to find one anywhere in my neighborhood so I think I'm going to plant one this year.
