It does not really matter when but spring is good for healing purposes. pick several branches that have interesting shape and decent foliage on the end, keep it balanced by gradually working your way up the tree from the bottom randomly selecting branches from different sides. trim all branches that dont fit your bonsai vision of what your tree should look like and remove most of the foliage from those remaining branches saving random ones on the way to the end and leaving just tufts on the ends. Step back often to be sure the tree has a balanced look to it, not too stark but not too busy. Have an idea or vision of what you want it to look like before you start, a perfect way would be to use a pane of glass and looking through it sketch with grease pens a possible design using the trees own branches as if you were tracing on top of it. Leave the glass there so you can refer to it as you progress. I have done this with olive trees ( the best ), cedars, and junipers and it is always a hit, It can give an old plant new life and a new look in your landscape. Put a little Japanese garden lamp near it for effect.

In China, but it was the Japanese who perfected the art. Bonsai is an art which people have to get a tree and plant it the best they can possibly do. It is the art of describing the environment miniaturized by using a variety of techniques to form, shape and care for the tree. The direct translation of "Bonsai" The art of growing a tree in a pot. Bonsai utilizes different training techniques to achieve desired styles. Typically bonsai trees are small compared to the tree it would represent in the wild, they usually rang from 6″-24″. The art of Bonsai dates back 2000 yrs to the Ming dynasty. Origins probably date back even further as the Japanese word Bonsai comes from the Chinese word "P'en Tsai" which sounds similar to bonsai and has basically the same definition. To restrict our interpretation of the word to a potted tree does not do it justice. This is an ancient art that dates back thousands of years. One could study bonsai his whole life and develop his style and art and it would be ever evolving and there would always be new facets to improve upon. The real essence of Bonsai is found in the Japaneses word's for art, there are three types of art in the Japanese language.
