This tree always stands out in a forest because it's very droopy in nature. Any ideas?

Hi Lee Anne! It reminds me a bit of Asimina triloba (Paw Paw):

The leaves resemble pawpaw but the limbs of the common pawpaw don't weep like in your picture.
They have an upward growth.

LOL ... guess it ain't Paw Paw then.

Another WILD guess as my eyes aren't what they used to be and I'm so NOT good at comparing photo's. Green Grin!

Persimmon Perhaps?

It's not Paw Paw or Persimmon as the leaves of those trees are not toothed like that. Might be Rock Elm (Ulmus thomasii) or possibly Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra). Not sure why the branches are drooping, but elms grow that way occasionally.

I started to think Elm, but it may also be Betula. What does the bark look like?

Betula pendula also has the drooping/weeping look.

I have no clue what this is but one key feature you need to look at is the way the base of the leaf are extremely offset.

Oh shoot, everyone else is playing...my guess is Ulmus americana. Dirr's Manual of Woody Landscape Plants notes 3 distinct habits which include "a vase-shaped form in which the trunk divides into several erect limbs strongly arched above and terminating in numerous slender, often pendulous branchlets.

Also has the oblique leaf base and double serrated leaves w/ pointed tip and leaf veins running straight to margin.
