Leaf Identification

Soil collected 2 of these trees last year. Both are alive and well but struggling to determine tree type. They were collected in my woods behind house in northeast Ohio.

I'm terrible at this game but, odds are I have to be right once, broken clock theory. Judging from the mature leaves in the first picture, Prunus padus, known as bird cherry, hackberry, or Mayday tree, is a flowering plant in the rose family.

Hey! you have a cute doggy pic in your avatar. Have to like someone who's kind enough to care for another animal.

I have to agree from a quick search. Prunus padus is what it looks like. That bark is very Prunus.

Possible it’s a bird cherry as we have many of those. But when I compared leafs to one in yard looked different to me but might still be that. Have not seen any of the “seed or flower” they have either but maybe bc in a pot. Could be hackberry?
