I'm not convinced this is particularly good stock or even worth the effort. It neither has decent nebari nor a particularly interesting or usable trunk line.

But, if you are convinced you want it - I'd just dig the bugger up. I wouldn't be concerend about how much root you get; it's an Elm after all and they can take huge abuse and will grow any roots that are missing. I'd ALSO trunk chop it while I was at it. It's an Elm...
