We have this tree closely between a couple other trees. First year it had scarce leaves. This year, it never bloomed. Can anyone identify the tree and if it's treatable or if it would be best to pull down?

I would love to help ...

You mentions bloomed so what do the flowers look like?  What color?

It reminds me of a hackberry though I don't know if they bloom.

It could help to know where you are but I'm guessing by didn't bloom you mean it didn't leaf out at all this year and you say it had scarce leaves last year. Is this correct? If so, my guess is that it is now dead. Looks like maybe a boxelder or an ash. I don't see the obvious signs of the emerald ash borer that I see around here but if it is an ash that is likely the cause of death. Boxelder are usually pretty weedy and not easy to kill trees.

i agree, boxelder or ash both seem likely. a year without any leaves at all probably means the end of that tree, if that’s what you’re saying.
