i picked up this shimpaku at my local club. It's impossible to catch the issue well in photos, but the long branches form front and back layers, but what's in between is what I think is going to be what I keep to work with for this tree's design. So I have guy wired the big branches down to let some light in to the foliage that I'm wanting to keep, but I'd like to cut back these big branches to really get sun in these areas in between that I want strong. Considering the strength of a juniper is in it's foliage, how much should I be reducing at a time to maintain vigor, and what is the best time of year to make big cuts to this juniper.
