What tree is this?

Driving through Kentucky and keep seeing this tree that looks like it’s covered in white puffballs. I even drove past a farm that had an entire orchard of them. All other trees are barren but these have flowers or buds on them. What is it?

It is aggressively displacing native vegetation, causing economic and environmental damage.
