I know the tree very well. a prolific species on the coast here. Oh I can tell you some stories about them. Got to be one of the strongest woods, when green, I have ever worked with.
Bark smells like Vicks

That post didn't come out to well. Here is the site. Looks like a match to me. My son brought me one of the goofy seed/berry pods before someone cut the tree down. A local tree guy was there to plant a tree and knew what the tree that used to be there was.
It looks widespread enough where it should be fairly well known. I figured it was an ornamental. They are the toughest to identify.
