(Excuse this if it is a repeat - I'm not sure my first message went through.)


Pinching back a new bonsai tree: I chose, planted and shaped this tree about two weeks ago. It is growing new buds very quickly and I'm not sure if I should be pinching them off. (The tree was acquired from a class I took at the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens - it is a young tree.) I read that not all new buds should be pinched off, but nothing is said about how many buds should be left on the tree. I could use a little guidance, please.

i hope you just took the tree indoors for a picture and that you don't actually keep the tree indoors..

Asking how much you can pinch of this juniper is like asking how much hair you can cut off from your pet turtle.
