I transplanted some volunteer red cedar saplings to pots the other day but can't seem to find any info on how to start them as bonsai from scratch. Most of the hits on search engines are just maintenance and boilerplate GPT write-ups. Specifically I'm wondering if I need to wait a year to start shape pruning in case that's too much stress when combined with the potting, or if I can start wiring either way.
