One of these things is not like the others

One of these things just doesn't belong. Can you tell which thing is not like the others, by the time I finish my song? (Gotta love Sesame Street) Ok, well, I'll give you a hint -- IT'S THE FRICKIN GREEN TREE!! Need a closer look? Here:

This tree has been puzzling me for the past 5 YEARS. I first started noticing it on my walks to and from class freshman year. All of the other Purple Autumn Ash trees (or Autumn Purple Ash, whatever) in this particular row change color in the fall, go figure! But not this one, same thing every year, green as a goblin and I just can't figure out why. No, I haven't checked to see for sure if this is, indeed, a Purple Autumn Ash and thus should turn purple-ashy in the autumn, though I'm pretty sure it is... and No, I don't remember if it does ever turn, I do know all of the leaves fall off eventually, it's bizarre. Any ideas?
