Guys, I'm having a complete block on a tree a see regularly and can't ID it on site

 

Two pics below. Leaves high up are bigger and slightly more rounded.

Thanks.

English elm?

Definitely an elm. There are quite a few types though and some hybridize easily.

 

Whereabouts in the country are you? That would give some pointers as to which ones it's likely to be. If it's a mature or semi-mature tree which isn't completely crowded in then an overall photo of the crown shape would also help.

 

Although elms were dramatically hit in the 1970s, the gene pool was fairly small as a lot of elms propagate through suckers and hedges were planted up that way. There is reasonable evidence from areas with a more diverse gene pool that there are some strains with varying degrees of resistance. It would be interesting to see if this is another one to add to the list.

Elm! Yes!

I'm in Surrey and the size it's what foxed me. DBH approx 16" and we usually see them dead before they grow to this size.

Thanks guys.

Particularly in Scotland, so I gather
