[IBC] Shaping and Pruning Juniperus Chinensis
Hi Bernie, welcome to the list!
Junipers are hardy, sturdy little plants. They grow really fast as well. Juniper pruning can typically be done at any time of year. I like to wait and carry out MAJOR pruning, like removing a trunk of a twin trunk or something of similar scale until later in the year, towards Fall, because they tend to ooze out less sap at that time. But that's only for larger Junipers, and even then not too much. Juniperus Chinensis is a sturdy little tree. Constant, yes CONSTANT pinching and small pruning will be needed to keep the tree neat and clean and develop the foliage pads, done throughout the year (save winter). You may wire at any time also. I've wired at any number of times throughout the year, including winter, and no time really seems to work better than another, although if you wire in winter or spring, keep a close eye on it so that it doesn't begin to cut into the trunk or branches. Best of luck, Justin "With experience comes wisdom.
