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.

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?

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.

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