A little off topic here, is that a chicken foot hanging above it?

Looks closer to papaya than mulberry.

That ain’t no mulberry. But also, uh, bird foot?

It’s a mulberry. Leaf shape in the Morus genus can be quite variable. [Here’s a paper about it in Morus indica. The main diagram shows leaves that are the type you see in your picture.](https://share.google/Cm7DWcq8OxLXErRg2)
You typically only see that leaf type on younger saplings.
Gotta love the confidence on both sides of the coin in these comments. If I’ve learned anything from this sub that’s almost certainly cannabis indica “northern lights”.

I can tell you at least it’s NOT mulberry.
Who is everyone?

Editing to add: [Here is a four year old reddit post showing this leaf type as well as the fruits. It’s a mulberry.](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthisplant/s/K2Qj6c13sN)
Looks like some type of mallow, maybe. Kinda favors a halbert leaf rose mallow.
It is indeed a type of mulberry, just not the form most people know. Check out Morus digitata.
People are confidently identifying a plant with common names by looking at just the leaves, the single worst identifying trait you could find.
The Genus Morus can be quite variable, and young leaves can especially be weird in basically any plant.
Hubris bad on this post.

Mulberry
I thought it was maybe Abelmoschus manihot
Looks very much like our kangaroo apple. Not saying that it’s that just that it’s very sumilar.
