bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Not New But Not Old, Question

Ok Im a little skeptical about root pruning, I just aquired a few potential new specimens and am anxious to start training. Should I start by root pruning them or wait for the appropriate time according to the plants specs?...Boxwood Micro...Pinus Mugo, and a flowering quince, They are medium sized to small and I would like to keep the mugo relatively small because it pretty nice the way it is. Any suggestions? I would like to start training to a possible smaller sized container but I'm very well...scared to cut into them they look good now but they have alot of potential, I will post some pics later after a few responses come in.
Thanks Guys
