[ID] elm

Hi all,

I have a number of yamadori elms that I will be placing on ebay shortly but I need to know the species in the pictures attached. The leaves are very coarsely toothed and the tree seems to grow from seed rather than suckers. The leaves are smaller than English elms and larger than Chinese (the two species I am familiar with). There is no corkiness on the branches and the bark of mature trees is not very coarse.
This tree is a dream to work with and backbuds very easily if that is any help.

Looks like English to me but would need to see the tree in question.

It is definately not English elm. Small leaves, no corkiness on branches, and grows from seed.
