What is this tree?

This has started popping up all over my garden. There is one across the road from us in a field and I am guessing it's pretty invasive (even growing in the bottom of our cattle grid!)

Looks like Fraxinus excelsior. Common name Ash tree.
Yes... they do grow fast.

Hi Margo,

Going quietly nuts here.

Or add a link to your thread, on this thread where I will find it.
Cheers
