Default [IBC] Priorities in bonsai design

Maybe I should be more specific.

I obtaines some juniper gold coast trees with trunks that I think would
look good as they are. The branches and foliage need working on. Do I first
see to the branches and foliage before putting in a bonsai pot or can I pot
it up now?

Thanks

Hi Everybody

As a general rule, should one transplant new material into a shallow pot
first and then develop and refine branches and foliage, or first achieve

the
desired branch and foliage structure and then transplant into a bonsai

pot?

Every species is different. Every tree, even within a species, is
different. There are exceptions to every guideline you can get on this
matter.
