We will make a bonsai out of this dwarf Garden Japanese Juniper Start by looking for limbs and to cut...go ahead try it. Don't be afraid to cut limbs that you think need removing. Limbs that shoot out vertically will typically make good bonsia's








Seperate limbs and foliage to see where is the best place to cut. Try to keep all limbs that are more vertical. Limbs that shoot straight up or down should be pruned off.













Remove plastic container to see you root ball. Do not be afraid to cut down on roots and removing soil. The root ball needs to fit inside the bonsai pot. Exposing some of the upper root system will give your bonsai a much more realistic setting.









Use a good pair of pruning clippers to do the job right.











Cut off any smaller type foliage from the bottom of the limbs











Prune limbs that tend to shoot straight up.
