I bought this Chinese Elm from a local garden centre at the start of summer, and other than trimming overly long growth, I've done nothing in the way of styling. If anyone has any ideas for styling it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you :)

Hearty, Full-chested shandies echo as your vessel rounds the bend. The Woody Dwarves tease you towards the hollows of the Tiny Forest with their haunting siren song.

I’m sure that others will be along shortly, with many things to say regarding your specific inquiries and curiosities..

I’m actually on my way out.. just wanted to stop by quick to say;

Pleasure to make your acquaintance.
 
Welcome to Crazy!

These tend to take one of 2 paths. The first being, keep it as is, with a trunk shape like one million others on earth.

Or removing sections of trunk and branch via an airlayer to create 3 or so trees that YOU can shape into something less monotonous.
Since this is a 3fer one deal, and more fun, and more original, it's usually the chosen path.

Yours looks quite healthy! And some of the branching is pretty decent.

Regardless of how you decide to proceed, just take your time before you make a move. ...or just start chopping. It’s up to you lol.
But definitely one of the most important lessons I’ve learned is to explore all my options and actually do my research first.
