I'm thinking hedge apple. Trees are either male or female which means not all trees have the tell tale fruit. It also appears to be in a field line which makes me think hedge.

Maybe Red Mulberry, the leaves are serrated. It has a general look of unfriendliness to being cut down. Or are you just curious?

The identity of this tree has eluded me ever since I purchased the land 20 years ago.

I cut a few rounds from a branch a decade ago, but used the rounds for a campfire so I'm unsure if it's easy to split and can't remember how it burns.

Some of the branches are dying like this one below. I am going to "prune" this tree this winter and get some firewood at the same time. Just trying to figure out what I have while the leaves are still on it for easier identification.

The top one you have your hand holding the limb is mulberry. IF it had a few small thorns on that limb then I would say hedge

I think this is White Mulberry. Red Mulberry doesn't get this large. Maybe it is a male White Mulberry which wouldn't get berries, so you wouldn't have the very obvious ID clue that the berries provide.

No, my best friend has a Red mulberry in her front yard, (granted, its sitting on top of her septic leach field). And its quite girthy.

Red Mulberry has 4 different possible leaf shapes that are usually found on the same specimen (tree). Do you see different leaf shapes or are all the leaves that simple shape?

The reason I ask is that while the tree shape and leaf do look like Red Mulberry, I find it odd that it wouldn't have at least 1 of the other possible leaf shapes...

Going by the tree looks and not just leaves, it's a mulberry of some kind. Once you get it cut and split, it will be warming you again in about three years.
