    I'm guessing that it's an Osage-orange (Maclura pomifera), a.k.a. Bois-d'arc, Bodark, Hedge-apple. If it has thorns, I'm even more certain.

    Looks like what people have told me is called a China Berry. Damned things have popped up all over the back of my property. The wood isn't good for much of anything.

    No thorns, leaves look similar though but no fruit either.

    Nope, that's not it. the shape of the tree looks nothing like the images I saw.

    How about a hackberry? Those things spring up all over, grow all weird and are generally a pain in the rear. If you take the trouble to trim them as they grow (and they grow fast) you could end up with a decent
    looking tree.

    Almost 100 percent positive it's a hackberry.

    The edges of the leaves are smooth, on the hackberry they are jagged. Plus it doesn't produce any fruit/berries.

    Looks a lot like every China Berry tree I ever saw, but it could be a Hackberry. I have never seen one of those, but I have seen the other.

    Messy darn tree at best, and pretty limited on usefulness other than maybe shade.

    Neither the Chinaberry nor the Hackberry tree foliage matches that of the tree in question.
