This'll be easy, so you've got to guess the cultivar too.

And if you state the obvious about the condition of this tree and its needs, I will throw gingko berries at you.

Fraxinus americana 'Autumn Purple'

Bueller?...

...Bueller?...

Ok, I'll post one this afternoon. Here's the catch... I don't know what the tree is, so it's going to be the blind leading the hopefully not so blind. Going to photograph it now.

[tomthetreeman]

Here it is. Tree turns pink like Euonymous (burningbush) in fall. Papery prunus-like leaves, could be a type of Euonymous for all I know.

Next... (opposite clasped buds)

 

[tomthetreeman]

Last. Corky bark.

 

[robinia]

That sure looks like Euonymous fruit in pic 2.

Are there any species of Symphoricarpos that get this big?
