Assuming the parentheses mean you think it's something else?

Ok, so just what the he77 is piss elm? We seem to have an over abundance of it here in southern Idaho, it's harder than the back of my head, it hates me, my splitter, my saws and my chains. It has pretty sh**y roots, seems very susceptible to rot in the root, grows quick and dies on a whim. And when you burn it you get moderate heat and a log sized hunk of ash, but I have a neighbor who swears it's the best hardwood she's ever burned and pays me to bring it to her.

Not at all... it looks like Siberian Elm... it's just that I'm always a bit hesitant to say for 100% positive based on a picture.
