Is this weeping mulberry?

So I have this tree in front of my house. I'm fairly confident that I've correctly identified it as weeping mulberry and if so it's the male fruitless mulberry. I really like the tree, I really hate the location. It is 9 feet from the house and blocks my view out of the east side of the window.

So two things, 1. did I correctly identify it as weeping mulberry?


And 2. I'm pretty sure 9 feet is too close to the house even for the smaller weeping mulberry and needs to go. There are small roots coming up just below the surface in the crawlspace. It appears to be putting up new trees from the roots so I'm thinking of digging up one of those and panting in a new location.


Here's a close up of the leaves:
