Apart from Elm, _Ulmus_, possibilities are Hornbeam, _Carpinus_, and
Southern Beech, _Nothofagus_. For Roble Beech, _Nothofagus obliqua_
Mitchell refers to the "strikingly regular herring-bone shoots which fan
downwards and outwards in slender sprays". (The fruit is an 8x5 mm ovoid
at the base of each leaf.)

_Carpinus betulus_ typically has more pairs of veins than shown by your
photographs. This may not be the case for all other _Carpinus_ species.
It may also be worth looking at _Zelkova_ and Hop-Hornbeam, _Ostraya_.

Taking a leaf off the tree and photographing it in isolation may assist
in identification. According to Stace the asymmetrical leaf bases of
Ulmus are unmistakable, but we don't have a clear view of the leaf
bases.

I have no doubt at all about the asymetrical leaf base, which is pretty
clear. Also the lateral veins which run up to the leaf margin, which is
indeed doubly toothed. I am very inclined to Ulmus minor, but am put of by
all the small 'leafs' (stipules?) that are all over the place.

I had interpreted them as side-shoots with immature leaves.

Could be, but I am not expecting them in elm, so they make me doubt

You are not likely to.

but the tree is in our front garden and i think it is exotic.
Our front garden is in The Netherlands.

Sorry, unless I am mistaken it is no more exotic than a windmill.

When I saw your first pictures, I thought "elm?" but I wasn't sure. Your
additional closeups and the parasite rang the bell. You have Dutch elm, Ulmus
xhollandica (minor x glabra or minor x plotii). I have a bonsai 'Jacqueline
Hillier', which is a dwarf variety of the same hybrid. When I put mine in front
of the computer and compared them, she yelled "Mama!"
Your parasite is a leaf gall mite. I get it occasionally on my Chinese elm. If
it gets too annoying, spray with a systemic insecticide. Over here we use
Orthenex.

I'm 99% sure your are right !! it must be the
Ulmus minor 'Jacqueline Hillier' sometimes called
Ulmus hollandica 'Jacqueline Hillier'

Thx Iris
