Is This A Maple?

Hi,

I live in zone 7b.

What is the genus and species of this tree? Common name?

Here is another tree I am trying to figure out what to do. I believe I would like to create a broom style tree.

The trunk circumference is 2". The tree is 3-4' tall. The top is nice (see image) I wish it was lower. I suppose I could do air layering, but I am new to this and not confident. Perhaps I could cut of the top and try to grow roots. I dont know.

Can I "V" chop the trunk and try broom style that way or should I let the tree grow to create a bigger trunk first then trunk chop?

Questions. Questions. I would appreciate any ideas or sugestions as to what to do next prior to the spring growing season.

This tree was recovered and potted about 3 weeks ago.

I will attach 2 images. The trunk and the top of the tree.

Thank you again for your patience. I anxiously await your responses.

V.
