Any botanists/arborists on here?

Yes, a close up shot of a leaf would help very much.

Looks like an Ash species.

Maybe a White Ash. fraxinus-americana-le-dkausen[1].jpg

It doesn't bear any fruit, so I never could guess at what it is.

Does it bloom though in spring (some non fruit hybrids still flower)

I give up. Reddit is a good place for plat ID's. To me the leaves look like a cherry but they bloom.

I suspected it's some kind of cherry, but I didn't know. Just thought I would try to get some input while I was sitting on the porch.

Burn it. Cherry has a distinctive scent, great to add a piece to the furnace when filling it.

Mulberry has a nice smell when it is burning as well.

It's likely a cottonwood tree. I don't know which species of cottonwood it may be though. I'd recommend downloading the "Google Lens" app, which is able to instantly identify all sorts of things, including plants. All you have to do is open the app and let the app view the photos you took. Or turn on the app and then point your smartphone camera at the subject, and it'll tell you what it is. There are other plant ID specific apps as well.
