Morus rubra leaves are larger than alba, and not so

This is mostly true, but some of the more tender M.alba selections, like
Pakistan, Cat's Tail, etc. have leaves equally as large as those on my
M.rubra trees - though they're not rough like the M.rubra.
The hybrids of M.alba and M.rubra, which do occur in nature, may be
intermediate between the two parent species.
