Also, the tree should be healthy and vigorous before you start pruning... pruning a less-than-vigorous juniper will not make it grow more vigorously.

You should see those longer runners on your plant before you start considering pruning.

Can you show some pictures of what you have?

Remember that juniper need to live outdoors. They die quickly when kept inside a home.

If you add a location to your profile you will get better info suited to your region.
