This is the tree that stole my heart when I first saw it, although it was very shaggy and over grown just something about it made me want this tree. So I bought it, the people that were originally growing it were growing it in the broom style, personally I don't like that style for this tree so I did some hard pruning, the branches on it were getting very long anyway and after of 4 hours of cutting and then taking a step back to see what I want and how it looks this the tree and the shape I got. The branch that is the lowest in what I deem as the front really bothered me when I was trimming this thing but then again when I took a step back and looked at it I could see it look decent once it got thicker with foliage. Kind of like one of those trees that you see in movies that have that one low hanging branch that is always climbed on by the characters.

more pictures because a stupid advertisement was in my way so I couldn't up load the rest.. I don't know what to do about these little adventurous shoots in the middle of that split.. Any styling advice and comments are appreciated. This was my first time ever pruning a tree( having read a few books from the library and also having read things on this site and the internet in general) I say I did a pretty good job with what I have at my disposal( not much, lol) I'm going to go and get some wire from the hardware store and see if I can wire some of these branches into better positions.

You have the makings of a fair bonsai. There is nothing to wire so you can't. There are some ugly stumpes that need cleaning up. The shoots should be removed

Thank you How would I clean up the stumps? I know some of them are really ugly and I was wondering what I could do with them when I was trimming the tree. I will remove those shoots right now

You need a pair of knob cutters they are round shaped so you can cut a concave where the stump is

where would I find a pair of those? I'm a little apprehensive about cutting the tree deeper than what the previous owners did because, the left side of the tree( if you look at it from the front)feels like it could break off if I wiggle it with my finger. I don't know it just felt very unstable..

be carful wireing... old growth on c elms are on the brittle side. wired branches need to moved over a long period of time not just wired and moved into position

Thank you manofthetrees, I was wondering why the bark split on my other tree when I was trying to move it and see what it would look like in a different position. So when you say slow what do you mean exactly? do you mean that I have to move it so far every few months or even years?

You can drill a small screw into a solid portion of the trunk or any solid anchor point close to your tree. Wrap raffia/wire around your branch and then around the screw. Start twisting the wire slowly until you see it move your branch slightly. Over time, give the wire another twist or two to get movement out of the branch. You can't create drastic bends or anything that way but you can move branches into position.
