It looks like Diospyros kaki to me.

I would, too, except the bark is so light colored. All the persimmon trees I see are black when they're old enough for the bark to form that way.

can't see any seeds or fruit on it....I may just cut it down if I get the time.

Got a local forester? I'm with DBar, could be ash.

Would ash be worth anything?

At first glance I was thinking persimmon. But if the leaves are opposite (versus alternating) it can't be.

Is that 5 leaves your holding, or one leaf with 5 leaflets?

I’d need to go check again on the leafs...

Pretty sure that is not Ash.... We have ash around here, the leaves and bark are different than the pictures. Unless it is a different variety.

5 leaflets on one leaf...I just checked

nsherve · « **Reply #13 on:** August 17, 2018, 04:08:26 pm »

And, I still haven't found any fruit or seeds on the tree

I read that some Persimmons take 10 years to fruit. There are also male and female Persimmons.
