Looks like Cedar Elm
Looks like an American Elm.
Definitely elm, looks like cedar to me. How big are those leaves?
What's the bark look like?
Cedar elm. Leaves are too small for American.
Leaves should have a fine grit sandpaper like texture

The leaves are gritty. They are about the width of a nickel.
Cedar or winged elm. Are there "wings" on the branches?
I have a bunch of what I believe are cedar elms and post oaks.
Yours look happier than mine.
Post oaks look for a reason to die, be it too little water, not enough water, or allergic to humans.
The elms are a lot heartier and are great shade.

Yeah. I've been thinking something was wrong with the tree.
Cedar elms also have wings especially on younger trees. The give away that this is not a winged elm is that they seed/fruit in spring. Cedar Elms sees in fall.
How do you know that type of stuff? Did you take classes on trees?
I did in horticulture nearly 30 years ago, very little stuck though.

I didn't have any interest in it when I was in school, but I would love to learn about it now.
Some of us paid attention in class....but yeah the timing of the seeds is a pretty good clue.

It's TexAgs, we know stuff!
...but seriously, HORT 306 with Dr. Arnold. Best class I took at A&M.
Dendrology lab with Oana Popescu was one of my favorites. Was a shame to hear when she passed.
We had three cedar elms in my backyard growing up, between those and the pecan tree there was never a shortage of branches on the ground to pick up.carpe vinum said:
