Those leaves don't really look like Chinese elm Tuma but more info would be better. Can you show the whole plant so we can see what shape it grows and the trunk to show the bark please.

it's celtis sinensis, otherwise known as chinese hackberry. It is an invasive tree but also is very nice bonsai material.

Hi Shibui

I took the photo in my garden this morning. Never got around to ask the question until now. Will take a better shot tomorrow. Thanks.

Thanks. You are correct. It is invasive plant here in QLD and NSW.
