Tree ID please

The bark and the flowers look like cherry. The leaves however, do not look like black cherry, choke cherry, or pin cherry. I'd say it's some kind of cherry - but no the kind we've got 'round these parts...

maybe crab apple.

Im pretty sure its wild cherry.i have alot of them around my property.it is lighter color it will darken reddish as it drys,and does have a slight cherry smell i think.
nothing close to as dark as black cherry though.ive googled it before and pretty sure thats what it is

Or is it Crabapple?

split pic may help,as crab apple i cut was alot darker wood inside then this variety which i think is a cherry

Looks like a pin cherry to me

Cherry

I think that's cordial cherry

You said the wood is white? With no smell?
Im cutting up 2 pin cherries right now and they are extremely fragrant. Im sorry I targeted them for a cut. The wood is as dark as black cherry.
Not Pin cherry and not crabapple, crabapple is more fragrant than All of the above. Crabapple bark is loose and vertical also.
The berries look sterile like its some kind of non fruiting hybrid cross of some genetically altered species of God knows what. Lol...
So thats really helpful.
The leaves look opposite which is weird. MAD...LOL
Maples Ashes and Dogwoods.
The bark looks very cherry...plum...Prunus. I'm in NY and all of my cherries have fruited and dropped by now.
There is a variety of cherry from Asia or China that flowers but is fruitless. There was a huge amount of them that were gifted to some National Monument location here in the States as a goodwill gesture.

Also cherry stems are a deep mahogany color. Not bright green. Not opposite and not bright green.
If it was wild plum it would have really nasty 3" thorns on it.
Your tree may well be a cultivated nursery tree of unknown origin.

Looks very cherryish to me as well but you said it was blocking the driveway view so may have been planted from some aforementioned nursery hodge podge long ago as an ornamental that grew too big.

Do all cherry trees smell sweet? I've only cut down two and both you could tell as soon as the dust starts flying.

I don't know, but they vary widely in character. Pin Cherry is so light it's like white pine. I usually avoid using it. Black Cherry on the other hand is dense, and burns well. I love that stuff...

The leaves & "berries" are from a wintercreeper euonymus vine that must have been growing up with the tree.

This man nailed it. I knew I'd seen that before...

Doh....
A vine growing up the tree explains a great deal. So the leaves and "berries" pics is a vine.
The tree could still be a cherry then. I thought the OP was gonna show splits?

It was fresh in my mind since I tamed the one that was engulfing my lamp-post last weekend.

Looked at the wood pics again - definitely a Prunus species (cherry,plum...) because you can see some crazy black knot canker on the last pic. I would go with some ornamental cherry. Not pin cherry. Pin cherry (Prunus pensylvanica) has shiny, dark coppery, almost purplish bark and really large lenticels.
