John,
These "s" shaped chinese elms have potential as Jun has shown in a few of his posts, but some times it may require a major reworking of the tree. This one would be a prime candidate to practice your airlayering techniques on before undertaking it on trees with more sentimental value. I think this one might make a good tree for experimentation with different techniques, assuming it hasn't rooted itself into your heart and you could bare to see in tatters for a while. Remember these are my thoughts from seeing these trees in pictures only.


Regards,
Todd
