I have tried posting this question to several bonsai groups, however I
am utterly astounded that to date nobody has been able to help me out.

I simply wish to be directed as to what is the best time of year to
shape prune and wire Juniper Chinensis.

I have been led to understand that this is a good beginners bonsai,
which makes it all the more unbeleivable that nobody seems to know
anything about working with these trees.

I have tried getting the answer from bonsai books, however it seems
that no two authors can agree on anything regarding bonsai culture.

Anyhow sorry to see that little help has been forthcoming on other
sites, and really hope that somebody might be able to help me here.

Thanks in anticipation of any help forthcoming.
