This showed up this year amidst my ferns, and I can't remember if I planted this, or it just appeared. Can anyone tell me what it is? I'm guessing a rogue tree that needs to be removed. Just want to make sure it's not a fern before giving it the boot.

It's about 4' tall, and narrow.

It looks like a sumac to me. The leaves are more across from each other than Glenda's elm. Sumac's are hard to get rid of. They just keep coming back. Dooley

First thing that comes to my mind is Ailanthus altissima.
