Any ideas?

[Jarrett]

I have several of these around the property. They seem pretty strong and tough, they twigs aren't pliant and flexible, but quite stiff. They also seem to have a habit of reaching out to snag you when driving by on the mower. They've just begun to leaf out so if necessary, I can add a couple more leaf pictures later.

Hackberry maybe?

[Jarrett]

Maybe...this is what I thought could be hackberry and the leaves are pretty much identical... I don't necessarily trust my identification though. 😬

Are the leaves sand papery rough or slick and smooth?   Does look like hackberry or sugarberry. 

[Jarrett]

Sorry! I got sidetracked... the leaves are smooth and slick, definitely not sand papery.

[WDH]

OK. This would indicate sugarberry.  Very difficult to distinguish between hackberry and sugarberry, but smoothness of the leaves is one clue.

I wouldn't bet on those new leaves being definitive for glabrous/hairy or even the tooth margin until they get a little more mature.
