Default Is it a tree, plant or weed?

I have seven of these growing in a flower bed, which I didn't plant, so I am suspicious. However, looking in books and on the internet I have not been able to identify the leaves. It is not an Ash, but that is what most of the keys suggest. Any suggestions?

Hi Becky,

You might want to try this site. Do let them know which state you live in and whether it grows in sun or shade. If you get an id please let us know what it is.

This is one thread I wish had gone farther. We have a certain something that looks like that, that's come in on some large tree nursery stock---it looks like a weedy wisteria, and has the vine climbing habit. I'll wait to see if it comes back in the spring.
