Hi Symon . It was a small Elm i found growing in a pot at the local tip . I planted it in the ground and did a trunk chop a couple of years later . I wasn’t planning on a broom the buds just popped around the chop so I went with what it gave me .
Maybe not lose but reduce a lot , the lowest right hand branch in 3d gives you depth because it’s a back branch . I still don’t really know how much you can cut off without the tree failing . I’ve seen some native bonsai species around the traps with very little foliage left on . The problem is I’ve only seen them once . When I cut a lot off it takes a long time for the tree to recover and for me winter is always coming .
