This is a 4 month old Siberian Elm tree. They love to grow along fence lines because the fences catch rainwater and funnel it down to them. This hardy tree will break cement sidewalks and driveways, get into sewer lines, get infested with elm beetles and caterpillars, and will develop wet-wood slime flux with oozes goop all over the trunk and onto the grass. We recommend being proactive about these trees while they are still young and can be easily removed. Since they grow 6 feet a year, forgetting about them for a decade means thousands of dollars in property damage and tree removal expense.
