Need help to identify tree.

Can anyone help identify what kind of tree this is in the images? Thank you.

Not sure what zone you are in, if it's south I would guess it's a Tropical turpentine tree. Also called Gumbo-limbo.

We are located in Boise, Idaho. Would it be possible for such a tree to grow in this zone?

U.S.D.A. Zone:9B-11 (25°F minimum)

Boise, Idaho = zone 6b (-5F to O )

Crush up some leaves & twigs & smell for an odor of turpentine.

It's possible, don't expect it to last long if in fact it is a turpentine tree. Whats the story behind it?
