Hi Everyone, i'm new to this. i just ordered a 3 year old juniper and i really need to how to shape it and how to prune it. I have no idea where to get this shaping wire because i dont live near a bonsai shop at all. any help is appreciated. I'll upload a picture when i get it

Ebay is a great place for bonsai bargains, i get pretty much get everything from there except potts, as there to pricey to ship.

I already ordered my tree. i just need help knowing when to trim and what to trim. and what i need to do to train my tree

wait to get your tree and post a pic,then we can help. it not possible to give pruning advice for a tree without seeing it

Be very careful when you are buying from E Bay. Unless you know who is selling you could have problems. We do need to see the plant you have bought, it is only a seedling sized plant and almost certainly needs to be in the ground for several years to get a decent sized trunk. It is too small to be pruning or wiring for some years.
Take a look at bonsai4me which has sepcies guides and lots of other information and is one of the best I have found.

Thanks, i'll post a picture as soon as i get it

I was also wondering how old or how big the tree has to be before you actually bonsai it.

It depends on how big you want it to be, you don't bonsai any tree you have to train the tree over a period of years to obtain the image and design you want. Take a look at bonsai4me for species guids and other advice.
If you start with a stick in a pot you will always have just that, you need to grow any tree to increase the trunk girth it does not matter if the tree is to be 4inches tall or 30 inches the method is the same

but how? just im the ground? In a big pot? Im extremely new to this. im sorry if i come off stupud

Here are some pictures of it! I took it out of the pot and it definitely needs transplanted. Should i put it in a bigger pot or a bonsai pot? Should i trim anything? Help me please!
