I agree, some type of eleagnus.
Eleagnus is sold at every nursery in the area and widely planted as a
screening material.
The small fruits are supposedly a good source of antioxidants, and the
flowers smell wonderful in the fall.
I've only seen reddish fruits (in January) on the nursery types. There
are several types, and I don't know if all are invasive or not.

Would appreciate if some of the tree/shrub experts here would help
with identifying these small trees that have come up in a wooded area
in the back of our yard. We have seen these further back in the
woods, they don't seem to get real large, but they are trees.
These are currently about 6 feet tall, grey-brown smooth bark with a
sort of leathery green leaves.
I am going to take some of them out, but depending on what they are I
may keep one or two, or transplant them. They are deciduous.
Three photos here. Thanks
