BERRIES!!
However I'm at a complete loss as to identify this tree
I have searched the internet for possible 4 hours... felt close with black gum and other relations of the gum but... they just weren't the same..

went to my neighborhood library and found some reference books.
The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Trees Eastern Region
Is the one I found and I also found it to be exceptionally helpful.
possibilities:
Camphor-tree - 448
Osage-orange - 429
AND SUCCESS!
I flip to page 448 and find exactly what I am looking for.
Cinnamomum camphora
some interesting things about this tree:
~ Camphor is a white crystalline substance, obtained from the tree Cinnamomum camphora. Camphor has been used for many centuries as a culinary spice, a component of incense, and as a medicine. Camphor is also an insect repellent and a flea-killing substance.
