I have a tree in my yard - it is about 9 feet tall now I suppose... but
I have no idea what it is... I have never seen it flower or bear fruit
or anything like that... Can anyone identify what it is from this
leaf? The photo is a scan and it is a little deceiving - the lobes are
deeper than they look in the photo - it sort of hides that when it is
pressed flat between the glass of the scanner.

Thanks..

Reminds me of Sorbus intermedia (Swedish Whitebeam) or one of the
related species. Is the underside of the leaf whitish?

Very good suggestion, it's a pretty close match:
