Help with Elm ID please

[remist17]

I picked this tree up this past weekend. I know its a elm but I am not sure what type. Can anyone help ID this for me?

The bark is dark

Thanks

This will be very tough since elm's cross pollinate with other elms. Just call it elm.

I am the wrong person to ask. It is much easier to critique than to design and implement. LOL

That said, I think you need to thicken the trunk for now and worry about design later. Maybe the tree will choose & show you what it wants to be then.

Good luck!

Also young elm and hornbeam can be a little difficult to tell apart...
