The leaves look very similar between the two. The elm leaves I googled look more round than the ones in the picture hatidua posted.Originally Posted by BPTactical

Actually I think it's a Summit Ash because of the rough bark. Marshall are more a smooth bark.

Well, I was hoping it wasn't an ash but it looks like it is (I just heard back from the state dept of agriculture and they also say it's an ash).
Bummer, it really does shade the entire backyard in Summer...
I wouldn't get rid of it just yet. The Dep. of Agg. is doing what they can to control AB right now. Enjoy it as much as you can until it gets out of control.
My wife received a letter from a company that took out a very large tree in our backyard several years back (dead Siberian Elm) suggesting that there is a course of 'treatment' for the ash borer problem. We'll keep it until it's thoroughly dead, which hopefully isn't too soon, but it's certainly not news we were hoping for.
Good read for ya.

thank you/
This reminds me I have several trees that need to be identified that I haveto picture and send off to the county or something. I am afraid I have a couple Russian Olive trees.
You bet. If you are looking to replace it, check out Maple trees "Autumn Blaze" to be more specific. Also ornamental pear trees would be a good choice.
