I'm planning to get a maple but I'm not quite sure what species it is. All of the maples I can find are very tall - at least 60-70cm. Can I trunk chop maples or is there another solution?

It is very normal to let maples grow to 3metres or more before trunk chopping. Most maples heal well.

Find out the species and whether it is suitable before getting it though

You can also air-layer maples (in spring). That way you will have two. :)
