    When I first looked I thought it was Ash, this is the best picture I have of the leaves, it's a Maple for sure.

    Is this a young Black Maple?

    I saw the pic and thought ash, then saw leaves, as you said maple, poss black, but the leaves look slightly different than that black maple you wondered about a couple weeks ago. Hmmm......

    The more I look at the leaves the more it looks like Sugar Maple.
