Who told you you couldn't prune in the spring? Many bonsai ought to be
pruned in the spring. Ficus can be pruned pretty much any time.

You could buy the Sunset "Bonsai" book, which is good and inexpensive,
and,
if you're going to do indoor bonsai, Paul Lesneiwitz's (spelling
approximate; help, somebody)) "Indoor bonsai".


Nina,
that would be Lesniewicz.
