Dwarf form spruce are often used as Bonsai material. That says that the plant is ideally suitable for training and creating a well balanced design. It is recommended that spring through summer is the best time for general pruning. I personally would do branch pruning only one branch at a time and would do it only during late autumn and winter. I use sharp, clean shears or hand pruners.
