Cephalanthus occidentalis (button-willow or honey-bells, but around here in Delaware we call it buttonbush, which is the problem with common names -- lol!!) check the link below to Wikipedia and see if that is what you have. My husband got this one for me and says it will definitely get you butterflies and grow to tree height in good conditions. He did landscape architecture for 25 years before doing restoration ecology now.
First link is just the photo of the flowers (fuzzy white ball), second is article about the bush/tree. Hope this is it.

They have butterfly bushes, they aren't trees but they do not look like most shrubs you see. They come in a variety of colors and smell great. I have one in my front yard.
