We had elms before Hurricane Juan. Since then, young trees sprout up every
year, which we assumed were elms. Now we are starting to wonder.
Uneven leaf bases with almost no stems, fat-oval, long pointed,
double-toothed leaves, kind of rough-textured, mostly about 6" by 3". The
twigs have lenticels. The end buds are false (we think). The buds are
small, with a sort of bulbous base. There seem to be two bundle scars (?).
The largest young tree has arching branches, like the old elms. The leaves
are subject to the same ailment the old elms had-leaf miner, we think. Our
ground is sloped to the SE and fairly dry.
Is this enough information? We took photos. See the link below.

Hi Jane & All,
   I did not look at the photos but if you had Elms before Juan then
these young trees are likely Elms sprouting from Elm roots. Sucker
leaves of trees in general will often be larger than those of seedlings
and more variable.

Hi, David. Thanks for that insight. I should have mentioned that these
little ones are coming up in various places around the yard-not particularly
near the old elms.

Hi David S. & All,
   In the absence of competition from other trees a large tree can
readily extend roots more than 50 feet in all directions.

Hi all,
   As a last resort I looked at the photo. Dead ringer for young Elm
of some kind.
