It was easy to dig up. I had to cut one big root coming off the side, but other than that I was able to keep the rest intact.
The tree looks a little sparse but the middle section has buds on the trunk.
I think with some deadwood on the top and weeping branches this might look good in a few years. What do you think?

i would leave it for now but but pick the highest branch on the first bunch as the new intended apex. this gives you a nicely aranged branches to work with. when the tree is growing well is when i would cut the top off

You don't have to be an expert to realize that this is the way to go with this tree. Manofthetrees has a great eye.
Thanks for the responses.

Spring just started, cleaner626, takes a bit of time for deciduous trees to make leaves. There are evergreen trees like holly (Ilex) for instance, and all sorts of coniferous trees.
Dropping leaves is a cold weather survival strategy really. When temperatures drop in autumn, trees store vast amounts of nutrients in their roots, then drop their leaves in order to minimize/halt their sap flow. With the sap flow halted, there's much less risk of frost damage in winter.

It's spring where I am. These trees are just coming out of dormancy. It's a natural process.
I don't understand your question about evergreen plants. I have three. They do grow here....
