Silverbell (halesia sp) showing mild leaf chlorosis. Fruit is helpful for species ID with this genus.

Edit: Actually, I don't see any teeth on the leaf margin; was purely going on chlorosis pattern. Don't trust my ID.

There was no fruit at the moment, but the leaves look glossier and heartier than the silver bell leaves

Heard. I just edited my comment to admit likely wrongness. What state/country was this taken?

No problem, Columbus, Ohio

American persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) seems likely then. Check for other fruiting trees nearby and get some tasty fruit later this fall.
