Hello Brock

Brock I don't know what fruitless Mulberry is, in my library I find
there are 10 species, 2 are native to N. America, but I assume it is a
hybrid, question would be why have a mulberry without fruit, it's not a
great looking tree IMO.

Leo,
One reason to have a Mulberry without fruit is that is a very messy tree.
When I was a kid, there was a Mulberry in the neighbors yard that hung over
into our yard. Running around the backyard barefoot would get you purple
feet.
I've turned a little Mulberry and IMO the wood does not have an
attractive color.
