    I would say an ash sapling, or several.

    Snap!   We got lots of those in our garden before we had the female ash tree felled ... we still get a few appearing two years later.

    We have loads of saplings too, even with no big ash tree near. They seem to seed in the hardest places - between the roots of roses, under paving. It's def'ly best to get them out while you can.
