Default Identify Tree in Backyard...

Can anyone identify this tree? There are four in our backyard of our house that we just bought and a fifth in the fence-row nearby.

We thought Osage Orange at first by the spikes but I don't think the bark is right.

Thanks in advance.

Definitely not Osage Orange. The leaves look more like some sort of Cherry. Do the flowers have a perfume of some sort?
