Might be a Siberian elm. A lot of American Elms died to Dutch Elm's disease in MB. American elms have asymmetrical leaves too, which this doesn't.

Pick the small diameter saplings bushy, you wont regret it. Build some bows from full staves and build some from saplings. See what you find.

Yep!  I love 2" to 3" diameter elm saplings!  Should be some nice bows there.  Josh
