How often do you need to trim a bonsai?

Posted by Bonsai Care on Feb 27, 2009

I just got a japanese pepper tree bonsai. Not really sure as to how often i need to trim it, i mean i dont want to over do it, and end up killing it or something.

Hi,
Pruning of bonsai trees should be done mostly in the growing season of the plant. Basic pruning can be classified into form pruning and maintenance pruning. Form pruning is carried out to give a shape to your bonsai plant where as maintenance pruning needs to be done through out the year to remove dead foliage or cut the extra growth.
