Rogue tree, 4' tall, and narrow.

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.

 

I hope it's a fern but it looks a lot like the baby trees I have been fighting :-? . As big as it is your going to have a time trying to get rid off it. Mine just keep coming back :'( . I'll keep my fingers crossed for fern.

 

Sure looks like some kinda sumac to me.

 

It looks a lot like the Mountain Ash seedlings I battle here Pianolady.

 

I think its an elm.It looks like the little tree in my front yard in Texas.

 

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.

 

Zuzu I think you got it.

 

Thanks, that's what I figured. Out is goes this evening. Have shovel and ax & ready to go! LOL

 

Yep I think you got it Zuzu.

 

Sorry to hear you have a new tree. Hope it gives up easy for you.
