I have a neighbor that has a bunch of these in his yard that he wants down. I think it is elm.  The leaf looks like elm and they are full of water. We took two of them down tonight no one agrees but they don't know what they are



That is way to much work just to post a couple pictures

Looks like a slippery Elm.

Hoofer nailed it.  It's definitely an elm, and the green glabrous samaras indicate that it's a slippery elm (Ulmus rubra).  Don't worry, the photo posting becomes a much more efficient process with practice!  The photos are good, but it looks like you reduced the resolution a little too much.  Check the file size - right around 30 kb is ideal.

Yeah, our American elm has been flowering here for awhile. Those fruit are similar, and when they ripen here the ground is covered. Grow like weeds, and usually live a short life because of bark beetles and Dutch Elm.

Thanks I kind of knew it was an Elm but the only ones I have cut before were American Elm which are the most common around here. These have a dark reddish heart wood. He has 4 more that he wants down I'm going to try and save a couple straight trunks pieces to saw, the rest goes in the firewood pile.

The first logs I ever saw, I thought sure they were walnut and were in a burn pile. I finally found a sprout with a leaf and figured out it was elm. Sure was dark wood!
