What is this tree?

So here’s the deal. I happened across this tree out at my parents house. It has a soft very pliable wood (bends easily) with a white trunk. The leaves are unique in that they are thicker than a normal tree, (like the difference between holding 20lb weight paper and 50lb weight paper). What I liked about it is that the back side of the leaves are silver, with a very soft peach-like fuzziness to them.

But what I can’t seem to figure out is, what kind of tree is this?

Leave your guesses and answers in the comments below. I am currently trying to start a cutting from this tree and see if it will make a nice bonsai.
