If you want a large trunk, you'll pretty much need to
start with a large trunk. That means you'll probably be digging
up a tree which is about 15 feet tall and cutting it down to
24"-36". Of course, it won't have any usable branches that low,
but elms are good at backbudding and will provide you with new
branches to develop in no time.
