Hi Jordan,

I own a chineese elm and it has yet to loose all of is leaves.
Should I cut them off or just let it be?

Chinese elms take a long time to lose their leaves in winter and many don't
lose all of them. This is their natural characteristic. There's no need to
remove them, especially if they're still green, unless you plan to show the
tree in its leafless state. Generally, the thing to do is to let the leaves
fall (or not) as they may and at the end of winter, defoliate the tree and
let the new spring flush of growth refoliate the branches. Good luck!
