Tree ID? | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener

Name that plant

This tree is planted in the backyard of my son’s new home in Augusta. It is not a tree my husband or I are familiar with. What is it, please?

I’m speculating maybe a type of ash (Fraxinus)? If this is indeed an ash tree, I’m leaning toward white ash (Fraxinus Pensylvanica). But I’m not an expert on this genus, and only guessing . Link below with images of F. pensylvanica and of leaf scars of different species to help narrow down, click on that for more information. Check it out and see if you have a match. Best wishes! https://www.google.com/search?biw=1722&bih=822&tbm=isch&q=fraxinus+americana+leaf&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiN0P_NpK7TAhUQ6WMKHfErDb4QhyYIKA#imgrc=_
