Morus rubra has winter buds that are 5-7 mm long.The buds are somewhat
divergent to the stem and the bud scales have dark margins.
Albas buds are only 2-4 mm long and appressed.
This being said when it comes to immature trees in that juvenile state
measurements are not always accurate.
I doubt that you would be dealing with Nigra.
