It's an Umbrella Magnolia. For sure.

Definitely NOT a catalpa tree. The leaves are too large and the wrong shape.
I think its some hardy tropical species.

This tree is growing in the yard of a friend. The original owner of
his home was an exotic tree collector. He has many unusual specimens
in the yard. No one seems to know what type of tree this one is. It
is growing in south western New Jersey where it is not unusual for
winter temperatures to drop below 0 on really cold winter nights. The
thee is about 20 feet tall and is probably 25 years old. It is
growing below a canopy of very tall oak trees.
