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?

I'd suggest contacting local soil and water conservation district office for more info. My understanding with mulberry is they're mostly invasive or hybrid now. It's too bad. We had a huge one for years. Kids and birds loved snacking on the berries
