Picked up this elm a couple of weeks ago. Probably 2 feet tall. Most branches grew in all sorts of directions so I trimmed them down a bit. An hour later o_O

Looks nice. I might be inclined to shorten all of the branches if this was mine - or make 2 trees out of it. There is a thread on here where someone layered the top off of one of these S curve elms and made 2 really nice trees. I would search for that and take a look. Could be an option - or just enjoy what you have.
