Actually, that's how one of the nurseries in the Netherlands, known for their yamadori, got started. I think he got the first ones from Italy, where they were doing road construction work. We went their yearly, with the club. Unfortunately they closed business.

We redid our front yard and I now have seven azaleas in pots, an elm probably seven years old which I air layered into two, a couple of some tree I have identified right now five feet high and about an inch across at the base ( maybe a meter and a half, 2.5 cm), and a boxwood which was almost as tall as me when we moved into the house in 1986 and is probably over fifty. There is a large area still to be cleared where I have seen five or six more.
You could open a landscaping business clearing out yards like this and open a side business selling bonsai material you have dug up.

I just invented a term - urban yamadori. Maybe also, suburban yamadori.

You invented that term? Then this must be your website :

SO the first thing you need to learn is layering (air layer / ground layer) so you can get rid of the graft.

Looked up layering, looks simple enough.
The layering you suggest to get rid of the graft would be to layer just above the graft, so that I then cut between the new roots and the graft itself and have myself a brand new tree with the added advantage that it doesn't have a taproot to start with. Is my understanding correct?

Also, once I have the stump, that can also be kept as it will re-sprout, right?

Talking about deciduous trees such as maple, hornbeam, olive and suchlike.
