Scott,
I remember that it does have those mitten leaves too! It made my head really hurt with confusion when I saw them. It can't be sassafras, I thought! So it's white? I want it to be the white one because of the doves! Although there were a few boy cardinals there too. Why do they need to remove the tree even if it's dying? It's the best Wolf Tree ever. It's not in a place that's very dangerous. (Do you think they just want to put up a fountain there.....?) Maybe I should go back and get in that tree with all of the doves and stage a protest.

Jenny That looks like a Red Mulberry, Morus rubra. If the base of the leaf is straight across, the top is shiny green, and the underside dull. Most mulberries are hybrids of white and red, but there are a few straight reds out there. Straight reds tend not to have the mitten shaped leases, just entire leaves. On a different note, the large sugar maple you photographed out by the meadow at Longwood has to come down. It was being attacked by Verticillium Wilt. Sorry for the bad news.
