ENTS, After sending a couple of photos to Will Blozan he said " Looks like red elm, maybe American. I’d like to see the tree sometime." I will have to go back during warm weather to check out the leaves. I know how to recogize elm as a species but I don't know how to tell red and American apart. One of those " spiffy " tree guides may help.
