This beast has been standing deal for 10 years , finally came down, worked on it all day yesterday, quite a bit done cut haul up a steep hill. The stuff is beautiful and ready to burn this year, it can eat up some chains. This weekend will finish it will be a massive load, love burning RED elm.

Good score. What's it like to split? Is it stringy?

Not at all splits beautifully, this is red not American which is rubbish, red elm is a phenomenal wood for your stove.

It is also known as slippery elm.
Baseball pitchers would chew it to make their saliva stickier so the spitballs worked better.

Nice, i have not seen that red color on any elms hear in East Coast in Jersey. Check your chain. Looks like your cutting a bit crooked. 1 side sharper than the other I'd guess by those ends.
