Trying to identify this tree/shrub that lines my backyard. Clusters of 3/4 stems/saplings sprout up together, but really most or all have an interconnected root system. New saplings sprouting up all over. Any ideas what it is?

Please get a close-up of a leaf if you can.

Just the sound of it makes me think honeysuckle but I couldn’t be sure without seeing a leaf.

Looks like Lilac to me. Broad heart-shaped leaf with shallow root system? Does it flower purple with a fibrous type bark?

We have something here that I only know as “tree of heaven” that matches that description. If that’s it, it’s a beast to kill and it ruins everything.
