I would open up those junipers to encourage inside growth. It seems a lot of growth is a bit too far out from the trunks. You could open them up, cut back some of the long branches and encourage budding off the trunk and crotches. Then in 2-3 years you may have the makings of some awesome little shohin or slightly larger trees. You'd be surprised what some sun to the inside and fertilizer will do. You can probably also do several airlayers from them at the same time if you are so inclined. Have fun with them.

Anyone have any ideas on the maple.

Hard to say based on those photos...can't see nebari, leaves obscure the overall structure. Can you post photos after leaf-drop? I would guess it will need a major cut-back, though...to deal with those long, straight branch segments.

Junipers look interesting.

X2 on more photos. Looks like some fun stuff though. That trident looks like a monster!

Looks like you have been to Plant City. Just made the trip yesterday also. Wish I had a bigger vehicle.
