the leaf pattern looks very much like a hickory, the bark less so. Maybe a (k)Not Hickory. Maybe a Pignut Hickory.
See if this is your tree http://forestry.about.com/od/hardwoo...rya_glabra.htm

based on the leaf I'd say it's an ash.

Not a hickory, for sure. Could very well be a species of ash. Looks like the leaves/twigs are opposite. Could also be some exotic ornamental tree. If it's a native tree, I'd say it's a species of ash, but it's hard to say for sure from those photos. If it was an eastern tree, I could tell you, but there's a lot of trees out there that I'm not familiar with.

Looks like ash to me too. I have used it to smoke a rolled roast in years past, and with excellent results also. Smoked it on a sheet iron folded "Pit". Bent in a U shape and put a grill and another piece of tin on top to hold in the smoke. Smoked it for about 3 hours, low and slow.

I was guessing Hickory or Ash myself but here is the weird part....the bark(maybe to young) doesn't look like ash bark does it? Also it does look like Hickory BUT it has the 5 leaf pattern like hickory.
I'm comparing all this to this site it shows the different leaf patter of the different types of Ash and toward the very bottom it shows the Hickory leaf patter. 5 leaves? http://treedoctor.anr.msu.edu/ash/ashtree_id.html Mike

That'd be an ash. 90% confidence. Leaves little seed pods everywhere...

Yep...another vote for ash. Definately not a hickory.

Might be an ash native to the western U.S.
Have you noticed any nuts associated with it? Leaves and bark resemble English Walnut, the female flowers appear with the leaves, see deguerre's comment above. Female flowers of English Walnut- The photo above was found at this site- http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Va...(Common_Walnut) |

Give it a try and smell the smoke. Cook a fatty on it or something cheap. I have never tried ash and I would be interested to know how it is.
