Loblolly it is!

 

[robinia]

That was probably cheating. I remembered you commenting on your avatar...

Have you got another?

 

[robinia]

OK, here's one.

I was not familiar with this one before. Although it's a shrub many of the other species in the genus are trees and several are instantly recognizable.

It's native.

Salix discolor? Pussy willow

 

[robinia]

Nope. Not Salix.

But good guess Matty. Funny, I didn't realize how similar this looks to S. discolor

 

[BostonBull]

Willow was my first guess as well.....Malus of some sort?

 

[robinia]

no Malus.

 

[macrocarpa]

privet?

 

[robinia]

No Privet.

There are clues in the original post:
