Mystery tree needs identifying

None of us knew the name of this tree in Shirley Dudley Reliford's yard when the picture was made and we're hoping to hear from CM readers who may have the answer. The tree was here when she bought her home in Columbia and she has enjoyed watching it grow but is yet to known its name.

Update: The mystery tree is a hackberry Thanks to all the CM readers who helped in identification.

Shirley Dudley Reliford has gently tended her yard and garden in Columbia since purchasing it in 1958. Her son Larry Dudley regularly helps out. She said she is glad to have kept her home in a good green space with lots of flowers and fruit trees. To help her afford her home, she worked at Line Uniform and then at Oshkosh in Columbia. She also stays active in the Homemakers organization. Pink was the order of the day when we visited - they are pictured standing in front of a huge baby pink Crepe Myrtle bush beside her driveway.
