Shagbark hickory?
A pic of the bark would help.

My first thought is hickory, but I think ash has a similar leaflet structure.

More likely hickory, but the "birch-like" bark does not sound quite right - unless it is a shagbark.

Looks awfully hickoryish to me too.

TF, did you shoot that down with a shotgun, or y'all got a bad bug problem up there? ;D :D :D

Probably a hickory, has a couple too many leaflets than a hop-tree or wafer ash Ptelea trifoliata.

I vote for hickory as well.

I bet it does not have a hand wrapped around it like the one in the pic  :).

Hickory for me, too.

If it's a good tree, grow it!

The five leaflets lead one to pignut.
