Beauty in the Wild of an Unknown Tree

Something has been driving me crazy for the past few months - a tree. I have watched these young trees appear out at the corner of our property since the onset of Spring. I guess the little clusters of scented yellow flowers caught my attention. Of course - after a gut full of winter and cabin fever any sweet scent from outside would catch anyone's interest! We know they weren't planted by anyone. Obviously, they must be a native tree growing wild here in the Loudon County, TN area. I noticed many just like this blooming all around here in untouched places. I'm posting these photos with hopes that someone will recognize this tree and give me some information about it. I've got several of them clumped together along a fence line that we plan on clearing to secure the fencing for feeder steers next year. I've already tagged a few baby Dogwood trees found along the fence. Dwayne and I will be balling them up for transplanting closer to the house after they go dormant. If I find out this tree is a treasure - Dwayne will have his hands plum full with me! I have three that will be coming to the yard closer to the house - if he wants peace to remain under our roof! If you know what this tree is, please reply in the comment section for this post. Your help will be appreciated more than words can say! Larger views of the photos can be seen by clicking on each one. Thanks! {Hugs!} Teresa These shots were taken sometime in March, 2009

This one here is the tallest of the three I'm interested in. It stands about 20' plus tall right now.

This is one of the smaller ones. The larger leaves are only about 4 inches long. Bark looks odd in these photos because the shots were taken late in the day, just as the sun was hitting the setting horizon.

Just took these two shots Wednesday, June 3rd, while we were watching the guys rake and bale hay
