Young green leaves of Elm variety - possibly Ulmus minor [see NOTES] or U. procera - though distinctive lob-sided Elm leaf shape is not fully apparent


Leaf bases of Elms generally have an asymmetrical appearance and these young ones appear to be too young for that to have become apparent. This is probably Ulmus minor (Small-leaved Elm) or U. procera (English Elm) rather than young Ulmus glabra (Wych Elm), since the leaves are quite smooth [in U. glabra they are rough and hairy) while the leaf apex / tip is quite short (in U. glabra the apex is much more sharply pointed).
