I picked up this maple in the fall. Trying to figure out if i should just grow it in a slanted style or? I was considering layering the top half and then lean the base back a bit and work on an informal upright style.
Any suggestions and or thoughts?

Full moon maples grow differently than other Japanese maples, much slower and less ramification. I wouldn't do any thing drastic. Stick with the obvious slanting style.
