Hi folks -- I have a volunteer tree in my garden and I can't figure out what it is. It's about three feet tall at the moment and pretty fast growing -- it was about half that height last fall. I've left it in place to see what it is but it's not being helpful -- it hasn't flowered so I am reduced to looking at the leaf shape. I've tried the various tree identification guides online but can't decide if it's black cherry or yellowwood or some kind of elm.

I'm in northern Virginia, zone 7a.

I've attached a few pictures... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
