A few maples are starting to turn.

Could you comment about your maples in wooden boxes on the last picture? I guess you are using clip and growth method? Will it be multi trunk or single?when will you cut? Will you cut to a branch and wait for more buts down or cut down to no visible buts?

Drift,

All of those maples are different with the exception that none are trunk-chopped.

Now with the spirit of the thread you owe us 2 pics!

And yes, maples do in fact thrive in SF. Cool nights, only a handful of low 90’s, 30% shade cloth, wind breaks and 12hr shifts of watering duties.
