Pruning as I'm sure that you know is an essential part of Bonsai creation. Pruning enables you to create the Bonsai that you like the look of and therefore it's an essential part of growing the tree style you want. Cedar Bonsai tree pruning is a delicate little subject. While the Cedar would be what I describe as a 'faithful' tree, it's a little temperamental when it wants to be so therefore it's vital you get it right. Here are some tips and pointers for good Cedar Bonsai Tree pruning.

The Cedar is a very slow healer - remember that. So if you're going to lop off a great big branch then you will find that your tree will take quite some time to heal itself up correctly. If you like, you can use a little wood sealant to help the healing process. The best Cedar Bonsai tree pruning advice though is that if you can avoid cutting it - please don't cut it!

However, of course you will need to prune your Cedar Bonsai tree so make sure that when you do prune it it is a strong and as healthy as possible. If your tree is dealing with disease or it is in a part of the year where growth doesn't really happen (aka winter) then you will find that pruning may break branches, or stress your tree beyond repair. The key here is be gentle: gentle with your pruning, gentle with your wiring, gentle with your handling of the Cedar Bonsai tree.

You might like to try cutting halfway through a branch that you want to remove and then rip it off the rest of the way. This is an effective technique because it leaves a natural part of the tree there. This also produces a highly desirable effect and will make your tree look older. You can also tell people that it was struck by lighting if you really want to!

As I said, the tree take a while to heal, so give it the best possible chance of success by keeping your actions to a minimum. If you get it all right, then you will be rewarded with a really nice tree - and a faithful one at that.

I suggest that before you start growing your Cedar Bonsai tree you look for some bonsai pictures. Changing your mind halfway through growing your tree is not a good thing - so make up your mind first before starting!
