Do you have a photo of its overall form?

The leaves look like the Chestnut trees we have here?  ? |

It is less than 25' high.  |

Leaves remind me of the mulberries that self-seeded here. The mulberry tree that was here 19 years ago when we bought the property hasn't grown any taller than about 25 feet.

Possibly. In three years there has been no fruit or blooms. Do branches just erupt from the trunk like this picture? The tree has a lot of dead branches among healthy ones. I can't imagine anyone planting such a chaotic tree but it certainly could have come up on its own. I've never seen one up close in this area and I pay attention to trees.

It does look a bit like a mulberry but I would think it would have fruit. Ours are always plentiful.  |

Mulberry. You apparently have a male tree. Read the "Characteristics" section:
"These deciduous trees can have male and female flowers on the same plant (monoecious) or different plants (dioecious). Berries ripen in late spring or summer. If you select a dioecious type be sure you plant both a male and female tree to insure fruit production. Be sure to pay attention when purchasing trees, there are also weeping and contorted mulberry trees that are purely ornamental and do not produce fruit."

The leaves do look mulberryish. But do mulberry trees have erupting branches all over them?
The leaves on the one fruitless mulberry I found were much larger than these.
