Sorry for many plants I posted asking about ID, but I need to identify the trees/plants I have so I can decide what I can do with them.
So what about this tree? the leaf is really strange, it reminds me so much with that leaf of Canada flag[maple?] but another family

At first I thought the leaves were smaller -- sometimes hard to tell without size reference -- and the first photo with damaged leaves was confusing, but 2nd entire leaf looks almost certainly to be mulberry.
I'm moving this thread to Plant ID Forum since the tree appears to be full size and in-ground.

I guess there are different kinds of mulberry. I have a mulberry here and a friend and a cousin have mulberries at their places, but they don't look like these. The ones I've seen never have had leaves with separate lobes like the first picture. Maybe some types do that? They all looked like the leaf in the second pic but much bigger and deeper green. The bark on mine isn't that white, but I won't say it's dark bark either! Just out of curiosity, is fig related to mulberry?
Interestingly, I helped my cousin prune her mulberry tree once, and the first thing I noticed was how sticky the sap was. I thought you could almost use this as some kind of glue!

Remember, too, that this could be a species from your part of the world, and tropical too, that many of us may not be familiar with. We are only proposing possibilities based on our own experience and sometimes only by recognizing from photos we've seen.
Does anyone else have a possible candidate for this tree?
** did you try cutting it? Let's get the fig possibility sorted out. There are so many fig species....

Thank you very much!
I didn't check this thread since yesterday, I thought I am not getting answers yet, but here it is, good answers.
Sounds it is a Mulberry, when I checked out the fruit I found out that it is a very popular fruit or tree in my region, so I think it is that one, my kids like it, and I remember when I was a kid I was eating this plant fruit, tasty, but I forgot the look of the tree.
So as usual, I will take care of this plant until it gets back healthy and generate new leaves full of green and fruits, it may take time, could be 6 months or 1 year who knows, I am not in rush and I didn't plant it anyway, so whenever it will grow fine again then I will confirm what is this plant from the flowers or fruits.

That's interesting. I didn't know mulberry could have different leaves like that. Most people around here grow mulberry as a big shade tree, not so much for the fruit. The one I have is supposed to get a 50 foot canopy (50 feet in diameter that is, not height) under ideal conditions. I don't think mine will ever achieve that without a lot more water though. I don't know what kind mine is.
I don't have any guess as to what the tree is though, I'm not too familiar with figs.
So many things to learn on this forum!
