Mystery fruit tree

i have inherited a new garden and been told I have 4 fruit trees. 3 are easily recognised but the fourth a bit of a mystery.
This is its second season with me and has produced no blossom yet. It has a pinnate leaf and does not suffer frost gladly. It is healthy and is thriving. I have asked all my gardening friends and nobody has a clue what it is. The only thing I can say is that when you rub the leaves you get a faint smell of menthol but it is not a eucalyptus. I do not like to take something out which is viable but I have warned it that it is on my hit list!
one neighbour has told me that it was damaged and broken at one time and wonders if I have been left with the main graft plant?
Any suggestions/advice please?

Of course. Once I have sorted out the way to attach it, I will be in touch. Thank you.
Uploading pics doesn't work from phones, but you should have a little tree icon at the top left of your conversation window, click on the tree and follow instructions
hope this helps!
Top right?
If you live in Derbyshire, as I do.
Here goes. I hope this helps.
Well done

That's what I was going to say Nut
How lovely 
Wow. I hope you are right!
I think that is why I have struggled. My friends took 10 years to produce. Wondering whether to cut my losses and put a damson in instead.
