Hi Allan, they can be trunk chopped though I've not done it on my shohin. Just make sure that it is well fed and healthy before chopping it.

Yep they can be treated just like any other deciduous tree, just most thinks take a little longer due to slower growth habits.

I have 2 in the ground, and 3 in Grow pots. One of which is an airlayer.

Have a search for Quercus and you willl find quite a bit of info about them

Would you say that defoliating an Oak specie will be harder compared to a maple to reduce leaf size?
Is it possible to trunk chop without any foliage?

No harder as such, just they are much slower than Maples to grow, and produce much less leaves.
