Its all about Shaping thru Pruning isn't it ??

Not entirely true. Walter uses guide wire and on many of the progressions, some of the the trees were wired in the early stages. but anyway, this is already well documented;)
maybe you need to research a little more.

@Walter Pall when hedge pruning a multi-trunk maple like this, would you only hedge prune the outside perimeter?

If you wanted to increase the branch density in between trees, would you also 'slice' (for lack of a better term) in between the trees? Just wondering in general

Very beautiful Autumn display of color!
What a great grouping of maples, they look really nice.
Killer trunk movement in all of them.

Walter, may I ask you (sorry if it was already asked) if you do full defoliation even on the years when you repot? Thank you!
If I can tell that the tree is very vigorous despite having been repotted in spring I often still doit. But in gneral I WARN people to do it. You need a lot of experience.
