Juniper Procumbens Nana for ?? Cascade Style Bonsai

juniper link 1
juniper link 2

This Juniper Procumbens nana is about three feet across, and was growing in my garden for a few years. I think I planted it in 2001 when it was small.

I need some space here so I dug it up and will put it in a pot today.

I hope that maybe you might send me some ideas as to how I should go about styling it. I know these plants make good cascades.

The thing is a mass of branches so I am not going to start just yet.

I take it the first thing I need to do after the plant gets established in a container is start to thin out the branches.

Anyhow can you give me some ideas?

When would I think about starting to thin it out? Now? or do I wait till it has started to grow in a container for a year?

The roots are very clean and intact, I was real careful how I dug it up, tooks loads of earth around the roots and did not cut through any roots.

Thanks for any help you might give me.
