So wondering if I should let this do what it wants? I'm inclined to remove the buds/growth from inside the bend. Thoughts?
Rescued or doomed elm?

Just let it go until next year. It's been through a lot lately. The more foliage you have the more roots it can build.

Update. Will get a photo when the slop snow stops falling... It's alive!!
Popping buds all over, amazing how resilient this species is. Also, I chopped and collected a little elm that I ground layered last summer. The tops were swelling like mad, so I cut the sucker root below my layer, clipped the top, and got it into some media in a pond basket to recover.

Ha! They are fun to fish!! Aggressive bastards! Seems they hit a hard erratic retrieve instead of a moderate steady one. Funny, some of the bigger ones that have hit were within 10 feet of the boat or dock when you've all but given up on the cast and real faster so You can cast again. Missed a few like that when I was looking at the clouds or trying to figure where to cast next.
Fun to watch the little ones when they hit hard!

Absolutely....at least half the catches are on the upswing right at the end!
But ai swear they see me half Those times...and know not to hit it.
Sometimes they just jump out the water and blast it into -$2Ville!

So while driving around on my run today, "Johnny" farmer was ripping/tilling dome young looking trees near his yard, As the trees looked different, I stopped and asked him what they were. "Dutch Elm" he figures...
I asked if mind if I grabbed a cutting from the bush pile, and came home with this stick! Haha! It is the root bend, and had 4 pieces of intact root, an a couple twigs still for the most part undamaged. The rest of the pile was badly damaged.
As it was just dug up, I wrapped the root end in napkins, and moistened them from my water bottle. Got them home, whipped a blend of peat, pearlite, coarse grit, and akadama. set it in the pot at an angle that might make sense, and am hoping it takes.
Think it will pull through?
It is an Elm!
I feel they will survive the apocalypse.

Here ya go.
I know it aint much yet, but its alive, and it started out wrong time of year, dug up by a tractor, with next to no roots.
