In Peter Adams book "Bonsai with Japanese Maples" in chapter two development methods he mentions several times that pruning the main leader and first branch" if the new trunk line is thick enough to look believable as a tapered step in the truck" then it should be pruned in August. What he seems to be refuring to as pruning a lot of ppl would call a truck chop. Anyways this seem contradictory to the usual advise of doing this work in spring.
I certainly want to follow the advise given in the book but it just doesn't corelate to what I typically read on this forum. What gives?
