Found this posting on shortening internodes on a JM from Jonas. I don't have a lot of JM's ... but I know there are plenty on this site who do and I thought it might be useful for some to check out.
Jonas has some interesting stuff, well worth subscribing to his bonsai tonight newsletter if you haven't already.

Re: Reducing internode length on Japanese Maples
Thanks for sharing R3 - interesting and insightful reading. Funny - just last night at the YVBS we were discussing styles and that you don’t see many Japanese Maple as semi/full cascade. Then you bang out this link with a semi-cascade Japanese Maple!Ryceman3 wrote:Found this posting on shortening internodes on a JM from Jonas.

Re: Reducing internode length on Japanese Maples
Jonden has a really nice semi-cascade JM but it’s suffered some sunburn in the recent heat.
Hopefully he will read this and post a photo of it?

Re: Reducing internode length on Japanese Maples
My Japanese Maple semi cascade, ( before damage ) unfortunately it has been slightly burnt in the recent heat wave. I used to have a brick tied to the end to keep it down as it naturally wants to grow up. I am undecided whether to defoliate in this uncertain weather as it would be prone to worse burning with the soft new foliage.
