Hi there and welcome,


What I see is a Ulmus Parvifolia in a typical "S" shape, a so called Mallsai. Itīs been growing (read manufactored) by the thousands in Korea or China.
In its form as it is now, you canīt project it on the trees youīve shown from Thomas or Ron. In the picture youīll see the trunklines of the 3 different trees by the red line, to clearify it for you. For getting a little in the right direction, youīll have to cut it down and let it grow, cut down and let grow.
Look at this site:

I tried to show you what I mean, first the cutting point, than the replanting position.

Hope thisīll help, good luck.

Wessel
