For many years would plant at least a dozen new trees on our property each spring we would buy from a local arboretum. Some of them are quite rare to the trade, and some of them common. Had ground, had cash........took truck and stopped buying when I couldn't stuff anymore in the back. Some are just the species, and some cultivars. I'm pulling a blank on one we planted about a dozen years ago, and need your help. It just grew into a nice tree from relative obscurity and I decided I really like it.

I have several pictures I took yesterday. The leaves are very tidy and the leaf blades quite small since the photo has no size reference. Glossy on top, dull undersides and smooth with fine serration on leaf edges. Interesting bark. Seed capsules should be a clue. No clue on bloom, since I was pretty oblivious I even planted this. Can you help? First photo is leaf undersides.
