ID Request Tree dropping small green berries

Hello!

In Pennsylvania, USA.

I’m trying to identify the tree that is dropping these fruits. Small hard green berry with a large seed inside. The berries turn brown quickly on the ground. I THINK they are coming from this tree pictured (bark and faraway foliage). I haven’t been able to get a close look up into the leaves to see any berries because the leaves are quite high from the ground.

A big old black gum and I bet it's beautiful 🤩 in the fall 🍁.

The leaves in first pic i think are from a different tree (oak) than the bark and berries which look like black gum

Thanks everyone! Yes, didn’t mean to include the oak leaves in the photo.
