Just FYI, the folks at Mountain Maples have put together a
couple of "photo essays" on pruning and care of storm damage.

I haven't looked at them. I only have 2 struggling Japanese
maples. They don't do well here, but FWIW:

Pruning Japanese Maples Photo Essay:

As I told you earlier, we had a lot of snow damage to the maples
in
my
garden this January, and Will and I also put together a very
short
photo
essay on First Aid for Winter Damaged Maples. Neither one of
these
essays are complete, but both will continue to evolve as the
season
progresses.
