Can you guys help me identify this tree?

trying to help my friend from North GA USA to Identify this beautiful tree.

A closeup of a leaf, some leaves and the bark might help folks help you ID the tree.

Well those weren't the leaves I was expecting! I would put money on it being some kind of callery pear.  But boy that thing is tall and skinny!

Not my favorite tree by any stretch of the imagination, but that one is quite impressive!   (If it is a callery pear, they stink when they bloom in the spring, they are weak wooded and break extremely easily, and in my part of the country they are very invasive, displacing native trees.)

Are the leaves simple or compound?

How many leaves per stem?

Does it ever flower or fruit?

Yes this looks like callery or "bradford" pear.  Some are thorny and some aren't.  Birds eat the tiny pears and spread seed far and wide....many consider it an invasive.  But always useful to a homesteader, for forage and firewood if nothing else.

also worth noting - these pears are prone to split themselves to bits - they form really tight-angled crotches and have just the right kind of brittleness. it’s rare to see one above a certain age that hasn’t been intentionally pruned for longevity.

You guys are amazing !!! Bingo !!! callery pear Is what I was looking for!

Thank you very very much!!!
