Help me identify this tree in my yard! Denver, CO


They seem to be popping up all over my yard! I’m sure they’re invasive, but should I be getting rid of them ASAP, or are they okay?

Thanks!

    Slippery elm. Definitely invasive. Good in wilderness, but not on a homes landscape

    Or might be “Siberian elm” but very similar

    Siberian Elm I believe. Invasive, susceptible to pests and disease, and has a high germination rate. Good luck getting rid of them, they like to come back after being dug up once they start reaching maturity.

    Of course! Google that tree but ‘full size’ you’ll have seen them before. They have a really high germination rate “full size Siberian elm tree”

    They will grow to about 60 feet in Denver and yes they have every type of bug imaginable.
