Anyone know what this tree or shrub is?

We have two of these trees/shrubs that appeared on our property and I have no idea what they are.

I FaceTimed with my mom to see if she knew and she didn’t. So I told her I will post pics on my blog. And she said “but that’s not basket related.” Well actually, it is now. I have spent less time on Eric’s new website the last two days and more time trying to figure out this plant. Usually I can identify anything. So Eric needs me to get back to work and get some help from his basket people.

Here’s a detailed shot of the branch.
This shows the front and back of the leaves. The bottoms looks like a silvery white, especially when blowing in the wind while the sun is out.

Super leaf closeup. Looks like it’s covered in tiny polka-dots.
A picture of the bark.

I’m sure it’s probably something all of you recognize instantly. I’m hoping I don’t embarrass myself for being so clueless! lol But this is stuck on my brain and I really want to know what they are.

Hope everyone has a great evening!
