Thanks for the reply Jeremy. It might just be a Jaqueline Hillier Elm. I bought it at a nursery where it was labeled Ulmus parvifolia without listing the variety, but when I spoke to the people there they said they thought it was mislabeled and was a dwarf variety of Chinese Elm. The guy said it was something like "Samu" so I figured he thought it was a Seiju but it doesn't look like any Seiju I've seen. Since I just got it I've yet to see any foliage on it so right now I have no clue.

I'm a bit apprehensive about taking it back to the first branch since it jutts out at such an angle. Maybe I'll go one or two up?
