Identifying an Elm Tree

We've all heard about Dutch Elm disease and how it was decimating trees. Driving along I was wondering how to identify an elm and if they'd all gone. Walking along a London high street (main street to you if you are one of my readers in the USA) I saw a small elm tree. I was so pleased it was labelled.
If you go onto some of the websites they show you the leaves. Not much good if you are driving along. But if you can recognise a leaf close up you can then identify the tree at a distance.
The Scouts Group paid for and/or planted this little elm tree in Hatch End.



The nearest tree is the elm.
