It's not a Chinese Elm. Beyond that, can't help, sorry.

You're right; Rainbow!! It is hard to see! Mr. Gourami; can you please post close up pic from the leaves? Now I'm dying to know what it is!

[mr_gourami]

new pics uploaded of leaves. these are some of the largest leaves on the plant.

leaves are symetrically pinnate.
wavey edges
leaf tips are symetrical as is the base.

I failed plant taxonomy back in college so I may be a bit behind on my lexicon. I could not find any reproductive parts on the plant, I know that is often essential to good plant identification.

[mr_gourami]

mulberry leaves are toothed, no? no teeth on the leaves.
I also don't feel hairs on the bottom of the leaves

It is likely that your tree is 'locally native' to your region and few of us know this area well. Plant guides may not show all the variants of better known species.

Still I hope someone can help out.
