It appears to be a native American tree called a Paw Paw (Asimina triloba). They are fruit trees when mature, but are finicky (will not self pollinate) and don't always produce fruit. They need to be cross pollinated by other unrelated trees of the same species. Sounds like they are good to eat. Here are two links that may be helpful.
