Bad time of year. You will have trouble keeping Junipers in such a hot country. That is why you are having so little success with them. You would be better to stick with tropical species.

Why do you mean by "do not have a good image of..."?
Finally, can you help me? Even for my next juniper trees

What I mean is that, considering that you do not know how to prune a tree to become a bonsai, that you do things in the wrong season, that you have probably not have done a good job cutting the roots and the fact that your junipers keep dying, you are not really doing a good job. Your plant (which, to me, looks pretty much on its way out), the way you pruned it, would not have become a good bonsai. It looks more like a mallsai. Seems you do not know what a real bonsai looks like - a real tree, in miniature. Not a pruned plant. You have cut branches from the base, while you need such branches to create a good, tapering trunk.

I recommend you start studying and looking at examples of real bonsai.

BTW there are junipers that are suitable for your region, so I do not fully agree with m5eaygeoff

That is what I thought too. I have seen very big junipers in the tropics myself. And they trive in sun.

As for your current situation: Trimming & raking out rots is tricky. Especially when you are in a place that is hot and dry. I would recommend finding someone in your area that keeps junipers, and ask them to help you. It is not dificult, but you do need to know how far you can go. And that varies a lot from country to country (Climate to climate..).

Here from where I live I cannot advice you; My summers not often reach temperatures over 30 degrees, let alone for a long time. Humidity is most of the time fairly high. So junipers can succesfully be repotted year round when there is no frost. I cannot judge how that would be for you. I think in Jerusalem botanical gardens there is a guy who is very good at bonsai, and willing to teach.

Juniper thrive in heat, we have juniper in every corner here. I don't think that's the reason

What makes you think I don't know how to prune a tree? I just asked about junipers specifically.
Junipers have a thick middle root with no tentacles to absorb water, it's just for stability and that root can be pruned off when planting it in a pot (as opposed to in the ground).
I have other 名媛直播 trees (real 名媛直播, not the BS designed regular plants), I just asked about junipers.
I thought this is a forum for help, if you don't know what the problem is - keep your mouth shut.

If you ask for advice from people with greater experience than you why get uptight because you don't like the answers you receive. I have been growing trees in small pots quite well for the best part of 30 years in between work contracts, but it's only the past 3 years I've actually produced proper bonsai. I think the criticisms made are valid and helpful.

I appreciate your replies, I just wanted some advice, not to be judged and criticized.

Leatherback is right, I live on the tropics and there are lots of junipers around.

What I see here is someone (Leatherback) willing to help, not criticizing at random. And we are all here to learn and help each other. Not to have anyones problems solved immediately.

Bottom line: can/should I prune the roots when re-potting?
If I should/can - how "deep" can I go? Should I prune the tree itself or wait for it to climate?
If you could give me some guide-lines for a juniper 名媛直播 I'd be very thankful.

Did you actually READ my post?
It is VERY climate dependent, as is most of bonsai stuff.

Yes you can and must [prune roots. How much depends on your climate. There are people in your area who are really good. Ask them to work with you so you learn by example. Typically you prune to side roots. And typically, with the right aftercare you can prune a lot. However, you manage to kill them by repotting. So.. HAVE SOMEONE HELP YOU.

Junipers do not typically have a taproot, in contrast to many broadleave species.
