Hello all, I recently purchased a juniperus procumbens (nana) as a first bonsai. I bought it from the nursery without any prior bonsai training.
Before starting the initial pruning process, I checked with many sources as to how much is good to prune. Most sources say that only about 1/3 of the original foliage should be removed at one time. Others, however, make reference to trees with very s
parse foliage after a pruning, stating that the foliage will later grow in in the desired amounts and positions. These trees seemed to have much more than 1/3 of the foliage removed.
I pruned about 1/3 of the foliage off of my juniper but it is still extremely congested looking, appearing more like a bush than a tree. Would it be advisable for me to prune away all that is necessary right now, or should I wait a month or so before
further pruning? Thanks alot for the help with this newbie question!
