These two trees look somewhat similar but I'm not entirely convinced...
Haven't been able to nail anything down in the book as yet, but will continue to look.
Tree #1. Not a landscape tree...lot is relatively new, and is in the woods.
Abruptly long-pointed alternate leaves, simple, un-toothed.
Tree#2. Maybe a couple hundred feet away from the first tree. Similar leaves, but these are more glossy and have the "fruit," two per stalk. Stalk emerges from the crotch of the leaf stem.
A few of these leaves had little spur points on the top edge...
This tree was on the edge of a long-established yard, so probably got better light over the years.
