I have about 15 of these in my full sun front yard. When can I prune them? I would prefer not to wait until the fall.

How big are they now and how far down would you like to prune them?

hand pruning now would be no problem. Try not to cut back into the brown stem part of the plant...junipers don't send out many new sprouts from brown stems. Try to cut only young growth.

It sounds like your plants are about the size they really want to be, but, as Walter indicates, it would be fine to do some minor pruning without waiting until fall.
