Can anyone tell me what kind of tree this is? It is in central Illinois, if that helps any. This was not an old tree judging from its size. Identifying trees is just not my thing.

Thanks

I think aspen has a saw tooth edge around the leaf. Redbud has a smooth leaf.

I think you are right, BUT a redbud is heart shaped. I don't have a picture of the trunk, but I have a limb. Aspen has a smoother bark. This tree did not have smooth bark but it was not rough either.
