Could be a son of a beech.

I've got a tree joke if anyone wants to here it.

I'm wondering, does it has a lot of knots? According to leaves, it seems to be an ash lancetic. Upd. I cut a lot of similar branches a few days ago. They are very dense and difficult to adjust, instead of my Fiskars loppers(specs are here (https://www.backyardstyle.com/best-loppers/#product2)). So it should be ash.

Ash has leaves that are opposite each other on the twig, these ones alternate. Zelkova has that alternating pattern, and there are 6 species of them. If it's an ornamental it could also be one of the other European species?   Zelkova carpinifolia ?
