Help identify this tree

[Jehinten]

Trying to identify this tree just for curiosity. Tree has already been removed at this point, sap from this tree when I came back the second day was very enticing to every critter on the block. I saw everything crawling on this from butterflies, carpenter ants, praying mantis and my least favorite hornets. There wasn't a hornets nest, they were only interested in eating the tree sap where I had previously cut.

Thanks in advance

Looks like Red Elm to me

Definitely an Elm, I was going to say Siberian Elm without looking at it too closely.

Elm!, but I don't know what kind......I'm going with Reed-Red Elm

Nice tree (was). Fermenting sap is nutritious and intoxicating. elms get bacteria, yeasts, etc. that ferment sap and cause slime to flow (flux).

Siberian elm. No such thing as a Red Elm. There is Ulmus rubra which is Slippery Elm. Shame on you Reed.

I feel the need to say that I glanced at the pictures and thought some sort of elm. Then I saw reed's post.
I have never been shown a red elm. That's not to say that I haven't seen them or don't know them as something else (I may or may not. I don't even know if it is just not something that grows around here), but Latin names are really starting to appeal to me.

I downloaded it on a phone I haven't used for a few years and haven't ever messed with it. I'll grab it again.

Interesting info . As far as a nice tree the before picture was a Google maps street view. Probably years before. Trunk size is about 4 foot diameter, much bigger than in pic, and had several dead limbs over the home. I did try and suggest removing the dead and trimming back, but the homeowner decided on a complete removal.

Thanks again for all your help

Don't play that bullshit Oak, woodworkers can have common names for trees too! Uhhhh last I checked Rubra is Latin for Red, asshole...

Maybe, don't see the classic black and cream streaking in the bark though...

Touché, Monsieur.

 

[oldoakman]

Humm, seems Sombody is upset that I didn't call when I said I would. A thousand pardons sahib. Having spiked my share of Ulmus rubra, I would lean mostly towards Slippery than Red. I have never cut out so much on any other tree asbthose ones.
