Any plant/leaf experts out there? Growing in the front garden, next to a soon to be removed diseased ornamental cherry. I've done a google image id and it comes up with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulmus_chenmoui Could it be this? Thoughts? I was just going to remove it, and plant a Acer palmatum... Probably 3/4metres from house & 2m from path.

My wife concurs with Google.

Ok. It's small so could be transplanted. Perhaps I should ask a local arborist/botanist/someone. Don't really want a 20metre high tree in front garden. Mind you we get Oaks & Sycamore trees popping up everywhere thanks to the squirrels.

So, knowledgeable neighbour says it's cherry and it's sprouting from the trunk but below soil level. Leaves on the new sprout are bigger & much greener than old parent. Given main tree is diseased unlikely to do well, & may as well dig up. Elm has much rougher leaves apparently.

We had an ornamental cherry cut down a few years ago and it’s still throwing out shoots

Looks like a cherry to me.

Yep, cherry.
