[QUOTE="Oldmaple, post: 3765611, member: 84496"] Looks like Siberian Elm (often called Chinese Elm). Usually considered a junk tree around here. Fairly weak wooded but very stringy. Lots of dead twigs and such falling out every time the wind blows. Don't see a huge amount of rot in these trees usually due to the wetwood bacterium that is in most of them. Makes it hard for the decay organisms to grow. The double stem (narrow crotch) and included bark concerns me the most. Prone to splitting out in wind, ice and snow loads. [/QUOTE]
