Unknown small tree

[Hob 'n Grind]

Hi guys. I have several of these small trees growing in the creek bottom of my property. I'm not sure what they are. I'm located in SC Pennsylvania. Thanks!

81% sure that is European Buckthorn (aka Common Buckthorn). I found you a link below with some pictures that you can look at when the leaves come out. But keep in mind that there are various Buckthorns and hybridization is common in this species, so there can be some variations.

Thanks Native. It seems like I have all sorts of invasive species. I'll take a look in spring to confirm.
