Question: Was told this could be Rock Elm?!

  • Question

    Was told this could be Rock Elm?!

    Answer

    Dear fallenfromview, good morning. I can't tell you which species of Ulmus (elm) this is with any confidence. I would need additional images showing the diagnostic characters of this species complex (such as flowers, branchlets, etc.). I would also need to know where this elm was growing (generally, such as which state if was found in). Location information is really important as part of the identification process. If you can acquire more images, I may be able to assist. Best wishes.
