Need help from you arborist FReepers in identifying what kind of tree this is.
Right now it's got a bunch of pussywillow-esque buds on it, but from what I've seen online of pussywillows they look more like bushes, not trees.
During the fall it produced a weird-looking pod of some sort. Sorry, don't have a photo of that.

I'm no Arborist, but those pods remind me of ones you would see on a Magnolia tree before it bloomed.

Hey martin......
Did you see any of its leaves? If they’re huge leaves, it might be a Paulonia tree. Hard to tell though.
cheers!
To: martin_fierro
Looks like a type of magnolia....either a tulip or a star (my wild guess).

Was going to say alder, but sumac is more likely.

I have a tree in my front yard like that, only much smaller.
My dad passed away some years ago, but he told me it was a magnolia when he planted it.

I don’t know what type of tree it is, but if it starts saying feed me, Seymour, feed me; I’d be careful.

Looks like a Magnolia x soulangiana or Saucer Magnolia.

Thanks, but don’t magnolias produce big white flowers? Don’t recall ever seeing any of those blooming.
To: martin_fierro
It’s obviously a beeber tree - can’t you see how stuned it looks? Just wait ‘til those pods start attracting the moose...
To: mnehrling
Agree. It’s a magnolia. This from seeing myself how magnolia buds erupt.

Star Magnolia--- it could be they got frozen before they could bloom.

Martin, the one in my front yard has only bloomed about 5 times in 30 years.
