Question
This small tree is growing at the edge of woods next to my house in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Using the interactive key Fraxinus pennsylvanica seems the best match: opposite compound leaves with asymmetric bases and teeth on the edges.
Answer
Dear jfc, good morning. You certainly have a species of Fraxinus, and it is either F. americana or F. pennsylvanica. But, I would need to see leaf scars and branchlets to be able to tell you which species you have. Sorry I can't be of more help.
