The American elm (Ulmus americana) was once a very common tree in the Eastern and Midwestern United States, but Dutch elm disease and other pest problems have killed many trees. This has made the tree somewhat rare and it is expected that many more trees will die.
Furthermore, what does an elm tree seed look like? Elm seeds form and fall from the trees in springtime soon after flowering. They are distinctive in appearance.
