Can Anyone Identify This Tree?

Can Anyone Identify This Tree ? In the Spring, it has fuzzy caterpillar shaped buds, and on a hot days, they actually Puff Out Smoke, it doesn't even look powdery, it looks like "Real Smoke". It will do this for a week or two, then the leaves start to grow and they just keep getting larger all summer long.
I trim it into an Umbrella Shape maybe two to three times per season because it is very fast growing. I'm pretty sure it's Not a Royal Empress Tree. It doesn't throw berries or buds or flowers after that. And I tried looking it up on the internet and came up empty? Anyone know ???

@chrisnichols1952 This is definitely the tree. I have one large one in the yard, then planted a smaller one that I keep shaped like an umbrella. The branches grow incredibly fast. Here is what I found out,"While a pollen count of 90 to 1,500 pollen particles per cubic meter may be considered "dangerous" currently in Southern US and elsewhere, pollen count from the paper mulberry tree from March to April has always been at the unbelievable 30,000 - 40,000 ppcm every year, 48,000 in 2005"

"Wiki" quote:

After cutting, the tree needs to be killed by applying herbicide to the stump, or the root system will send out multiple coppices which grow quickly from the existing root system. "

Use a full strength concentrate such as Brush-B-Gone. Paint it on ASAP or cuts will heal preventing absorption.

@PartTimeKillers It looks very close to this, but after researching the " Umbrella Catalpa Tree" it is definitely not it. Thank You so much for your time.

Looks like a Paper Mulberry, especially since you say it "smokes" they produce much allergenic pollen.

Leaves are highly variable some lobed heavily others like your without lobes.

Looks like an Umbrella catalpa tree
