Tree (seedling) I.D.

[Bpswieringa]

I was in vacation in OH at an Airbnb. I saw these seedlings in the gravel. They were three inches tall. I decided they would be an interesting souvenir. Now the largest leave is nearly three inches long. Does anyone know what it is?

An elm of some sort

Ulmus spp.

For sure someone can kee the species apart. I am not one of them.

are the leaf tops rough and fuzzy or smooth. How about the under side?

Exact question I was going to ask..

The fact that the leaf base is asymmetrical really narrows it down to 2 or 3 NA ulmus

Could be winged elm.

The leaves are not fuzzy. They are slightly rough especially when stroked toward the stem.

Are buds reddish.. or brown?

Singly-toothed leaf margins.


Asymmetrical leaf base...


Rough not glossy surface...


No significant "hair" on the twigs, or wings...

It's an American Elm...
