The WI invasive plants people list Morus alba amoung
the invasives. Not the worst we deal with, but they
do pop up where not wanted. They seem to be pickier
about their preferred site/ soil/ surface prep
(disturdance) than, say, the exotic buckthorns. I say
plant the Morus alba with proven good fruit; at least
then we'll be spreading those more palatable
cultivars' seeds.
