Reminds me of Hickory the way the leaves are coming out. Really just a guess there.
Have a picture of the trunk bark?
Bark pic will help. Also, a close-up pic of the twig and bud with emerging leaves.
I will get more pics tomorrow. My mom said kind of looked like a nut tree(she saw the twig) but she doesnt know that much about identifying trees so maybe the hickory though.
The short shoots tilt towards blackgum :). The leaves look like simple leaves, ruling out the compound leaf hickory.
Looks kinda like twigs and baby leaves from a sassafras tree.
Hopefully these pictures are better.

Thanks again!
Aaaand WDH for the win... 8). I wouldn't have got that from the original picture....
Yes Sir. It was the short shoots that gave it away, good old blackgum. Spiral grain and all :).
1st, 3rd and 4th pick are black gum 2nd still looks like sassafras to me, with the smooth green new bark.
They are all the same tree. Actually the bark pic is different tree but still the same kind. Ive only found 3 of these in my woods, they are all right next to each other. Thanks for figuring it out for me! ;D
Sassafras twig would be very bright green down here. Some of the leaves would be lobed. Bark would be cinnamon brown, not gray.

Look down, I'll bet you have a hundred babies on the way :)
This is surely Blackgum. Noticed it by the bark.
