Can anyone identify this thing?

Last summer I noticed a tree growing along the fence separating my yard from my neighbor's. At the time, it was about 3' tall. It has now reached a height of approximately ten feet, and, last night I noticed that it is bearing fruit. Is this some sort of evil weed tree that will take over my garden if I don't keep an eye out for volunteers?




Am I correct in thinking it is a White Mulberry Tree (Morus alba)?

Wonder if that's the mystery-weed we had in the corner of our backyard (fence-line X 2) -- C & I dug it out, removing a LOT of root-material. Went down SEVERAL (3-5?) feet. I had to put in I think it was 3 of those BAGS of dirt-stuff to fill all the root-space. And it came back the next year. Not sure we got fruit on ours. Wonder if mulberries have gender.
