We've got Chinese Elm, American (white?) Elm, and Red (slippery) Elm here. Maybe some rock elm. I'm looking for some help differentiating these guys, especially when dormant, but really whenever, so I can make better management choices. (Our forester seems to dislike them all, I'm partial to the red elm, but would also be happy to hear people's opinions on the trees in general.)

Protect the red and the rock, which is for the grandkids. Mow repeatedly the chinese and enjoy the shade of the American. I had one behind the mill that hosted flying squirrels and other critters occasionally and was a nice shade in summer but it was hollow and finally had to go. It appears the one viable seed was in a place where it throws a branch and slaps me whenever I drive something open by it, that'll teach him  ffcheesy.

With all the elm talk, Ed, the mason came in one morning and asked if I knew what a wahoo is.
