The only advice I can give you, you have already discounted.
By far the best way to treat any ground grown stock is to start it as a bonsai from day one. My reason for ground growing is to fatten up trunks.
I am sorry I could not give you a quick fix for that.

Hey Pup, I must confess the number of seedlings is overwhelming, thus why I don't want to wire. There's just too many! I include a picture of this years crop of seeds. Luckily it's only one side of the tree covered like this but you see my problem.
I was looking for the "lazy man's" (or in my case woman's) way of doing something interesting with all these seedlings. I guess I'll just have to get over destroying a bunch of them and get down to a managable number, then try to start styling in the ground when they pop up.
