i have around a 3-5 gallon procumbens juniper i dug up from the ground that i want to turn into a bonsai. Is there a way to "soften" up the branches in order to wire and bend them, or do you have to go with what you have. Some of the branches are too stiff to bend. But, some of the even larger ones are somewhat pliable. New to the process, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Brad
