What Ulmus species

[Basswood]

Came across this elm in providence RI. Not sure what species, bark doesn’t seem right for American. Any thoughts?

Ulmus pumila/ Siberian elm maybe?

Unequal base on leaf would indicate american, slippery, serotina, scotch, Dutch, minor. Based on other characteristics I don’t think it’s slippery, serotina, scotch or Dutch. This flaky bark seems more similar to some U. americana cultivars, and there’s quite a few. But there’s plenty of U. minor cultivars. Hope someone can pin it down!

Leaves look too big for a Siberian more like American to me.

 

[Basswood]

Yeah I’m sure it’s not Siberian.

Bark and structure doesnt look like an American though. English elm, Ulmus procera as a guess I have only seen a few.

Camperdown? (A variety of U. glabra).

Ulmus thomasii?

 

[Basswood]

So far procera looks the closest to me.
