Bonsai is the ancient Japanese art of dwarfing and shaping trees in small containers to produce miniature versions of mature trees. A single bonsai may only be a foot tall, but looks identical to a full-grown tree in nature. Careful trimming, pruning, wiring, and other techniques are necessary to produce this appearance. Bonsai outlines the constant and proper care that will allow the bonsai to blend with it container in a natural and aesthetically pleasing manner.

Bonsai by Peter Chan,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bonsai (Hardcover)
I ordered the book which cover is shown online. However, the actual book I received has a different cover. It's the same as a book I've purchased a few years back. Questions: 1. Did the packer make a mistake when searching for that title and ended up sending me the wrong book? 2. Was the book republished with a new cover but the computer shows it as the same as the old version?Trang Nguyen
