Identification Question... What is this?

[Journier]

these things keep popping up in my garden, i have 3 cherry tree's in my garden, so I think its a cherry tree growing from seed, but the growth rate is quite fast.... 2 foot so far this year?

but the leaf is not a perfect match... so i dont know what keeps growing up in there if its not a cherry tree...

heres a picture..

------------------

Ash has opposite branching.
"Opposite branching is when twigs and buds grow off a main branch in pairs. Ashes, dogwoods and maples are examples of opposite branching. Examples of alternate branching would be birches, sycamores and tulip trees."

Could be a type of ash. For some reason, I'm thinking something more like elderberry, but I don't have a key handy right now.

I don't believe it's cherry or ash. Doesn't even look like it's from a tree - the stem doesn't look woody enough.

I agree looks like a green Ash leaf to me. It's not woody because that is the whole leaf containing the leaflets the stem of the leaf is not woody on an ash tree.

Green ash has smooth edges on the leaves not a green ash.
