Re: Zelcova Serrata
I don't know a lot about Zelkova, but there seems to be an awful lot of long, fairly thin thin trunk there. Too bad you can't take about 12 cm out of the center. A trunk chop may be called for, together with planting in the ground for a couple of years, if possible. The base looks promising, but you eventually will want to get rid of that fat root.

I'd consider chopping the trunk about 4" or so from the ground and making a broom style.

Sound advice from Bob.
Trying to bend even a thin Zelcova will not give a good or convincing result.

Neil-
Stick it in the ground for a few years, if not just get it into a good sized pot and grow it out to an inch or two thick then trunk chop. I know your space is limited so that may be wishful thinking on my part.
If it were mine i would keep it as a clone mother, grow it out, and take cuttings and do a forrest planting with them.

Re: Zelcova Serrata
air layer? Then you'd end up with a shorter trunk with some rootage, and a crown of sorts ready for developing.
