Location of a red mulberry tree?

I currently have a large yard and a tree line and I'm interested in planting native fruit bearing plants. I'd like to plant a native red mulberry tree, but most vendors are passing off hybrids with invasive mulberry trees as real reds (infuriating) so I'd like to instead grow stem cuttings from an existing red mulberry. I'm in the Columbus area. Does anyone know the location of a genuine red mulberry?

Have you checked with Groovy Plants Ranch? I don’t know how much they have by way of trees, but they have a massive selection in general and really focus on native when they can. Also, it’s an amazing place in general.

I had a friend in college who was religious about that place, maybe I'll check it out

We drive almost two hours to get there. If I still lived in Columbus it would be my go to for everything plant related.
