Starting a specific thread to document this tree. I've posted it in other combination posts- please ignore. This tree has survived two years post collection, so I feel comfortable with logging ongoing styling. This thread will serve as an ongoing journal, as well as for input.

Small collected American Elm.

Are you planning on keeping that lowest limb, or just using it to beef up the trunk? If it's in your design plan I'd prune near the trunk to get rid of that long, straight bit.

I’m thinking of removing it. I with it was a bit further up, but at this point I’ll probably just let the tree grow out a bit to thicken it up
