Need Help Identifying A Tree

[Decado]

Hey guys I was just wondering if you'd be able to tell me what kind of tree this is.

Let me know if you need better pictures, it was beginning to get dark when I took those.

It is an elm (Ulmus sp.) but I would need much better close ups of the leaves and seed to make a good stab at the species. Ulmus pumila (I lean toward this one for your tree), Ulmus americana and Ulmus rubra are all very common in Minnesota plus there are at least three other present but less common elm species there that I can think of off hand.

Ok so here's some better pictures of the leaves and seeds.

If they're Siberian elm, those seeds (samaras) are supposed to be edible. I've been wanting to try, but the only big tree around here is behind the neighbor's yard -- I do have PLENTY of seedlings popping up in my yard though....
Here's one person's description -- she said she steamed them and served them salted: https://ledameredith.net/wordpress/?p=295

So I've been looking at all the different elm types and I can't seem to figure out which type of elm this is. Can someone with a more discerning eye figure this out?

Here's an elm samara comparison photos. Siberian is smooth, the furry ones are not good to eat.

And here's a link to all elm thumbnails at USDA:
