Hi, completely new to bonsai and to the forum.
I recently acquired an untrained Chinese Juniper. It's quite tall, so it will need to have its height reduced pretty much by half.
I know that I'm not supposed to be removing too much foliage from a Juniper at once, so I plan to reduce slowly over time (I learned that the hard way...)
My questions is, what is the best time of the year to do some heavy pruning and wiring? Right about now at the turn of spring and summer, or should I wait until late fall when the tree is less active?
I've been finding mixed information on the web and some literature, so I thought to post the question here.
I have the same question for a Blue Spruce as well, but I'll post it separately.
Thanks!
