Summer & Winter Pruning to Improve Branching

Swamp Cypress bonsai need some special treatment to increase branch ramification.

Specifically, Winter is the best time to organise and trim back Summers' late flush.  This sets up an even more organised Spring flush.

Allowing the first Spring flush to extend and mature before pruning will result in a greater number of buds on each branch.
