I need to prune my Hughes Juniper. I need some advice?
I planted a Hughes Junniper under my Canada Red Cherry tree. The nursery where I bought it told me it would grow to be approx. 5 ft by 7 ft. It is presently 14 ft by 21 ft. I want to prune it back about 2 ft all the way around. As you can imagine it is beginning to encroach on some of my other plants. I don't want to kill it. Before I start, does anyone have any advice for the best method of accomplishing this pruning successfully.

Wow! It did get large, didn't it? What are you feeding that plant?! lol What I'm reading here online is that you'll want to prune it back in the early Spring before new growth comes out. I don't think you will kill it by pruning it back by 2' all 'round, but take a look at the site listed below for pointers on shaping.
Happy Gardening!
