Best Time for Pruning

Hi, 
        I am back! So we are in the mid-January and the weather is still quite cold here in Islamabad. Some of the trees have started to show signs of new growth. But most of the Bonsai trees wont start budding until the late February. 
       
        This is the best time to  do any major pruning of your bonsai like cutting some major branch etc since the trees are still dormant. If you wait till the growing season starts, then the tree will see this pruning as a danger to its survival (i.e. loosing a huge amount of foliage) and result in drastic production of growth which in turn weakens the overall tree.
