This tree was growing into the foundation of my house. Plantnet says it's some kind of ash but I really can't tell. I transplanted it near woods

I have those things all over the place and my guess is a Hackberry

Definitely not a hackberry - notice how the newest leaves of this tree (1st photo) are compound leaves; hackberries have simple leaves. Also, the leaves on this tree are opposite, while hackberry has alternate leaves.

Probably an Ash. The leaves are abnormal probably because it has been cut back several times and is stressed.

As stated by Gardener2493, the leaves are compound and opposite. Also, the terminal leaflet is larger than the laterals, and the stems have distinct lenticels all typical of ash.

Do you have any advice on making it healthy again? So far all I've done is transplant it a couple days ago and left it alone. I've been watching for EABs too

If it's an ash, as I also believe, I think it will muddle through okay. Just water it until it has time to establish itself in its new location.
