Which Elm is this? Help

[JuanB1961]

Forgive me folks, I’m old and never started a post/thread before, so let me know what I’m doing wrong. Anyway, I cut down what I believe is Elm but not sure which. Got it narrowed down to Red/Slippery, America/white, Rock or Siberian. I’m in upstate NY. Buds and twigs are NOT hairy and tree is about 80-100’ and slender crown. Looked all over web and couldn’t matchup heartwood and bark.
Thanks, Juan

That’s American. You’ll know for sure when you get to splitting.

Thanks. Yeah, I finally had to buy a splitter tears ago after splitting over a cord of this stuff by hand with wedges. Even though I have much better wood to burn(b. Locust, Ash, Maple) I’ve got too much Elm to ignore.

I hand split so if i really want to keep something like elm (which i really don't ever want) , then i'll cut them into shorts . That's 8"-9" cuts that will hand split and then use them North South in my East West style stove.

The shorts do burn great N/S, but the stacks to dry them are not great.

Elm
Makes its own kindling when you split it
The biggest reason I bought a hydro
Fence lines full of dead standing American Elm
We cut and split every 3 to 4 years
Love to burn it

I get a lot of red elm. To help you distinguish in the future: With red elm, the layer I am indicating in red in this photo would be bright white. That layer is what gives slippery elm the "slippery".

Thanks Mongo (yeah, April, nothing like a quick response lol)😂, I’ve been busy thinning out 5 acres of Black Cherry, Maple, Elm, Poplar, Apple, Ash, Basswood, and Boxelder and probably have 100-150 elm alone. It just takes so damn long to season.
