Expert Response

Hello, thank you for your question.

You have a Siberian Elm growing in your backyard. It’s not unusual to find these volunteers growing somewhere in our Colorado landscape. They are fast growers and can provide shade quickly, but are known to be a brittle and weak tree.

Please review the link below for more information.
