Is this a walnut tree?

Is this a walnut tree? I think we have a walnut tree. Didn’t notice it before. It’s growing at head of our driveway, right by the cement divider with the neighbor’s, which is probably not good. And looks like it was cut off at the stump once, because it had two stalks growing up (I cut off the smaller one).
Grooming young walnut trees is a rather considered situation, it seems.
Training Young Walnut Trees: No Pruning/No Heading vs. Minimum Pruning Compared
Training young walnut trees occurs in the first 1-6 years in the life of an orchard. Traditionally it has been done using a modified central leader with a minimum pruning style. Research conducted since 2004 investigating pruning versus non-pruning on young walnut tree growth and productivity has challenged that paradigm.

I think I’ll just let this one do what it wants. I gave it some space after this photo.
