Anonymous, It certainly is an American Elm. I have personally visited this tree on multiple occasions. If you are looking for the characteristic deep furrows of an American Elm you will not find them on this tree due to it's age. This is a young tree and has been planted recently. You can also see a bit of damage to the bark on the front of this specific tree. I appreciate your concern and I do not intend to improperly represent this tree with confusing photos, look for an additional American Elm Bark Photo uploaded today just for you. Smarty

If you are still uncertain you can see other photos posted on May 22nd and 23rd of 2009 of this specific tree showing the leaves.
