If you know what this is,  please let me know! I haven't seen any flowers yet. I can go get a closer photo when the smoke clears.

A close-up picture of the bark on the main trunk of the tree would be helpful.

Looks like it might be some type of viburnum to me. Did it have white flowers in the spring?

And two of my plant id apps say that it's a Chinese hackberry.  A picture of a branch with leave on it laying on a flat surface would help.

It’s definitely not a viburnum. This tree has alternate branching, while viburnums have opposite branching.
