Chinese elm or zelkova

[canoeguide]

I bought this recently, labeled as Zelkova by the seller on a hand-written tag. I had previously assumed that it was actually Ulmus parvifolia, but with the new, larger growth, I doubt myself.


What do I actually have here? Ulmus or Zelkova? Old growth on the left, recent, new growth on the right:

Looks more Zelkova, or even a different elm. I don't believe it is Chinese elm.

I’m thinking Zelkova as well. Definitely doesn’t look like Chinese elm to me.

Based on leaf structure it appears to be Japanese Zelkova, Zelkova Serrata which is a member of the Elm Family. There are a number of cultivars and the leaf size can vary quite a bit. Typically they can be readily reduced in leaf size and can also have beautiful fall colours.

Definitely Zelkova.
