Awesome, Thank you Laura I’ll check the leaf arrangement and let you know…

Thank you Ryan for the feedback. You would be the best judge since I could only guess from the given photos,so I could be incorrect in my speculating. I had considered hawthorn genus, however I couldn’t see the leaves arrangement on the branches. To my eyes your tree trunk looks similar to some of the species in the maple genus. Also the leaf petiole looks longer than hawthorn’s. One quick way to rule out maple is to check the leaves arrangement on yours. Are they opposite or alternate on the branches? The link below is a closeup for Amur maple tree trunk. Best wishes Ryan! Laura http://plantsciences.montana.edu/horticulture/ps231/images/Acer_ginnala/Bark.JPG

Thank you very much, I’ll keep an eye on it when it starts to bloom and take some more pictures.. I was researching as well and thought maybe a Winter King Hawthorne?

I can’t the leaves arrangement whether they are opposite or alternate on the branches clear enough to be certain. I’m speculating for now, perhaps a species or cultivar in the maple genus (Acer)? maple leaves are opposite on the twig/branch. Check out the Amur maple (Acer ginnala) group and see if you have a match. Flowers & fruits will help to narrow down its ID. If this isn’t maple when it blooms in spring and you still don’t know, make new post with photos of flowers & fruits. Click on images from the included links to enlarge.
