What is this sapling?

Ok, this sapling seems to have sprung up out of nowhere, which is somewhat concerning to me. Is it a white mulberry -- there's a white mulberry about 50 yards away.

No, not a white mulberry - this plant has compound leaves. Perhaps an Ash?

I'm thinking perhaps Acer negundo, box elder.

I thought that at first, but there seemed to be too many leaflets. But now that you mention it, I looked up some pictures and see that they can have five leaflets.

So now I think it is boxelder too.
