    And here is another tree sapling that has volunteered itself in a few spots in my backyard. It's leaves and stems are sticky and aromatic. My best guess was Black Walnut. Concord, MA. Thank you!

    Answer

    Dear llsrvd, yes, they do appear to be a species of Juglans (walnut). I would not be able to tell you for certain which species of walnut without additional information, but hopefully knowing the genus will get you started with your study of this species. Best wishes.
