Could it belong to the Birch family?

More info needed I'm afraid:
"it could be a fruit tree" - what makes you say that?
"leaves are starting to come out almost like on a magnolia" - do you mean the leaves/buds are shaped like those of a Magnolia?
Has it ever flowered, what is the texture of the bark, and the overall shape of the tree?
