Need help identifying this hardwood tree which grew in east Tennessee.
Thanks.

The leaves look like the Elm trees that I knew as a kid years ago.
I had to rake the leaves that didn't seem to rot through the winter.

I was told they had all died of Dutch Elm disease. The stump was known to
be used for splitting wood because the wood was all but impossible to
split because the tree grew with a "twist" to the heartwood. I never knew
what the wood looked like in a finished project so this is just a wild
guess and nothing more.

Wood looks like elm, too

Apparently they haven't. New elms pop up all over but they die early
once they are infected by the fungus. The University of Guelph has a
project going to breed stock that are reliably resistant to the
disease.

They need to visit my dad's place. He's got several Chinese elms that are
well over 20 years old.
