| In the first picture at the start of the thread the whole tree shot looks like Ulmus parvifolia, with characteristic "lace" bark, while the trunk in the inset has different, grooved bark - as though you took pictures of more than one kind of tree. |

| You have one of two different kinds of tree. It is either chinese elm or slippery elm. They are considered a weed tree and do not get dutch elm disease that easily. That disease is devastating. |

| It must be a slippery elm as the bark is a match. Thank you. |
