Update: 9-07-2022 I got one female cone this season but with nothing around to pollinize it, it never developed and now has disappeared. Officially 7-1/2' tall. It didn't grow as much this season as it did last season, even though last season was full on drought, and this season, we had a few inches of rain. Pinus ponderosa var. scopulorum:

the first part of that name looks more like a dinosaur name.. lol ...

Maclura pomifera IS a member of the mulberry family, Moraceae, but quite a distinctive one. They were once very common in rural farming areas all over the US, though their native range was originally a small area in NE TX and adjoining states. They were used as hedging/fencing, as they formed impenetrable thickets when sheared. They were the original "barbed wire". Now they are generally seen as a nuisance, even a danger with their wicked thorns, and are becoming rare in many areas. In my childhood, they were quite common here. Now, I have *one* on my 105 acre farm, and it's the only one I've seen in years. One oddity of the tree is that although the species is dioecious, the female tree when grown in isolation will still bear large oranges, perfectly formed but lacking seeds (as my tree does). Another factoid: the wood of the osage orange, when dried and burned, has the highest heating value of any native North American tree. Sorry for geeking out. This tree has always fascinated me.

Even new leaves in spring will show typical identifying characteristics. A doubly pinnate leaf will be doubly pinnate however young the leaf. A location and some clearer close up pictures would be helpful. If your location is truly 9b it is unlikely to be 'earpod' tree which is at home in zones 10 - 11. There are many Fabiaceae trees with similar pinnate leaves and I very much doubt a plant app can sort them out without other features such as flowers, fruit etc. and certainly not from these photos.
