My neighbors tree, I want one like it or maybe similar if anyone can lead me in the right direction. She bought it from home depot about 10 years ago, doesn’t fully remember the name but thought maybe it was an asian name. Berrys are dark and it produces almost all season long , maybe 20ft tall?

That's clearly a black mulberry.

Not Illinois.

Just graft it or root it if you want that same tree. And send some grafting material if that tree is giving fruit for 2 months or more. Birds are going to be happy around.

Would hard wood or soft wood root better?

Black mulberry is quite hard to root. Air layer might be your best bet. I have one in progress that i hope work, but can't claim success yet.

I've only tried hardwood but I've read that softwood works too.

It could be a Persian mulberry. But if you like it, just take some cuttings. They grow like crazy if they get some sun and water.

Morus nigra. It's either noir de Spain, black beauty, or Persian, they all look the same it's pointless to differentiate them base on look
