    Yes, once the issue causing stress (like pests) is resolved, the tree will eventually regrow its leaves.

    Mulberry trees can be a puzzle. Some are dioecious, meaning there are separate male and female
    plants. Male trees flower but don't fruit, so I don't think your tree is male. However, if it were a female that wasn't getting pollinated, it wouldn't be making fruit at all, either. There are also many mulberries that are self-pollinating. And there are also mulberries that are fruitless. I wonder if yours is sort of caught in a mulberry netherworld of not being completely any of those things.
    This article talks about the care of fruitless mulberries, which should be pretty close to what is required by other kinds of mulberry. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/fruitless-mulberry/fruitless-mulberry-trees.htm
    You could think about changing the light, water, or fertilization, to see if it helps the fruiting.

    I think your tree either has some type of gall or canker. I recommend that you review the information below and see if anything resonates with you.

    Small leaves in particular can be a sign of sooty canker fungus. For more information on sooty canker and cankers in general, please visit the following links:

    Those suckers growing on your branches are known as water sprouts. Their presence is a possible indication of tree decline due to any number of stressors such as root damage, storm damage, loss of branches, topping, disease, over-pruning, improper thinning, drought, etc. You are going to want to remove those water sprouts as soon as they form and most importantly, try to determine the cause of your tree's decline.

    after the drought we have had and now getting rain the tree has sent its root out and down searching for water. now it has too much. cut off as many suckers as you can reach. the trees should stabilize soon

    It sounds like a Sarcoscypha coccinea mushroom. More information can be found here:

    If this isn't it, you can search on many different criteria at the following website to pinpoint the exact one:

    A newly planted tree does need adequate water in order to become rooted and established.
    If it is showing signs of life, continue caring for the tree.
    Make sure it is receiving adequate water and hope for the best.
    Here are some links with more information.
