Need help with this Mulberry. Is it a red or the white?

The leaves on mine are much more like that pictured species from the university of North Carolina. Pointy with serrated edges. The color though, is much more lime green like this pictured "golden paper mulberry" I found online.

Color has more to do with soil nutrients and available sunlight in most cases. There are "golden" cultivars of many species which are genetically yellow, like the one you posted, but that's a genetic aberration like albinism in animals.

What I see in the mystery tree is just new growth that hasn't hardened off yet, so it's still a light green color.
