Good evening. Fairly new to bonsai here. I'm in 6B Southern PA and I'm trying to take In as much info as possible. As with many others I'm struggling with taking my time.
I recently picked up two pot bound Colorado Blue Spruce from a local nursery. I was concerned about them being pot bound but both had nice thick trunks and good movement. While not special compared to some I've seen I'm excited to have them based on what I paid. I'm curious what's the best time to work these and how would you treat a heavily pot bound tree. I did a little initial cleaning but tried not to prune too much as I wasn't sure if it was a good time if year. Is there a good calendar to help with when to do what to specific species? I just want to make sure I don't miss my opportunity to do work and waste a year. Also want to make sure I have whatever supplies I may need on hand as I am newer to this addiction
My styling plans are leaning towards informal or leaning style eventually but I know that will take time.
