I bought this near dead tree , marked at ?70 , for only ?15 because it was half dead two years ago . I thought it was a Chinese Elm as no leaves and similar bark .... but this year I have decided it’s definitely not . It has the wrong leaf pattern and when the new leaves come through after winter , they are soft and a paler green. Still deciduous and slightly serrated Leaf but Leaf manors are opposite each other .
Any ideas please.

It could well be a Chinese Ash tree (I have one) from the look of the leaflets and the branches.

But let's wait for the feedback by more experienced enthusiast on the forum.

I was thinking Ash, but it does not look like the ash trees we have here. So.. I could well imagine you are right.

I have checked various on web and I am now sure it IS an Ash (perhaps Fraxinus excelsior ) or another variety of Ash. Exact appearance and leaf habit . Thank you both of you , now I know to proceed .

Yes.. in fact my Ash, whose appearance matches yours quite well, is a Chinese Ash, very different from our European Ash as Leatherback writes.
It's however a nice tree, I've repotted it last year in akadama and it thrives, though very thirsty and needs very frequent watering during warm season...
The leaflets remain small but, in my experience, it can only be shaped by pruning as the branches are not so "elastic".
