please help me identify this tree
Comments (6)If you still have access to the tree, a species level ID might be possible. It would help to know where the tree was (country, etc).

And that at the time had not grown beyond its little warm, moist niche. Otherwise, I figure if 5 can grow in an ecosystem, then probably 5000 can grow also - and may be on the way. Jacobson, Wild Plants of Greater Seattle - Second Edition (2008) uses multiple different designations for the different states of wildness that occur....See MoreCan someone please help me identify this tree.

If it is Ulmus parvifolia that is a nice garden tree that is even used for bonsai. This species has been confused in cultivation with the comparatively mediocre U. pumila which I wouldn't plant myself....See Moreescolat
