I just wanted to thank everyone for responding to my ficus post. I
have a few books about how to do bonsai but they all seem to miss some
critical details, so it's really nice to be able to ask people who've
done it before.

As recommended of my other post, I bought a couple junipers to practice
on. Is it OK to prune them early spring, or should I wait until the
fall?

Thanks again.
