Plant ID - volunteer under my bottlebrush

Can anyone help ID? Not sure whether to pull or not. Looks nice and there are many popping up - never saw these before - but I figured I would let it grow a bit.

Looks exactly what I just pulled up from my yard. It was a volunteer also. From another post here, I gathered it was poke salad plant. Once I pulled it up, I was surprised to see a pretty thick root. Let's see if it comes back.

You know - I didn't even consider it, but it does look like one. I have others coming up now, but they are still sprouting and cannot tell by the leaves yet. Appreciate the input!

I've mentioned this before, but my method to handle seedling trees that are too well rooted to pull up is the use the little spray bottle (that fake butter comes in) and spray (more like drip) the cut end with undiluted broad leaf weed killer. Saves having to get in there and dig it out. The seedling can be cut at any length, just getting the stuff on the open cut kills it. I carry the bottle in my garden holster to have it handy as we have a lot of little hackberry, oak and pecan seedlings coming up all the time.

Some type of ash, Fraxinus species. In my area it would likely be white ash, Fraxinus americana, but I don’t know where you are in zone 8, and so don’t know what types of ash trees are common to your area.
