When pruning Itoigawa I've often wondered is one time of year better then another to stop it from reverting? In the past I've done my pruning at repot, I hear these days many are suggesting to not prune juniper foliage at repot. In the past anytime I've hard pruned kishu or itoigawa during the spring they've reverted to juvenile foliage for about a year. I haven't ever tried hard pruning branches in the fall though... So i was thinking that perhaps it may be less of an insult and the chance of them reverting to juvenile foliage may be decreased due to sap flow, has anyone tried this? By hard pruning I mean removing about 40-60% of the foliage.
