    Hello!

    Can anyone identify this tree?? I absolutely love it, and desperately want one for my yard, but i don't know what it is and haven't seen it at any nurseries.

    It's a weeping tree (gets much longer, this was after a recent trim), and i included a closer-up of the leaves as well.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Katherine

    Mulberry...?
    Thought Fig too, also member of the Moraceae. ??? But do Figs grow like this in Vancouver?

    I actually saw this one in Kelowna, not that that makes a huge difference.
    It didn't get any kind of fruit on it, that i know of. I'll confirm that with the owner of the tree (she wasn't sure what kind it is, but she can let me know for sure if there was any fruit on it).

    Fear not: as soon as our incredibly knowledgeable membership views your tree, you will have a positive ID.
    Hmm. Perhaps sterile ornamental variety?

    Yes, a weeping white mulberry. I'd move the smaller plants away from the one in the picture and let it drape, like it is supposed to.
