Product Description
A unique mixture of gardening and art, bonsai cultivation is an endless source of creative satisfaction. From advice on selecting a structurally sound tree to tips on every imaginable technique, this magnificently photographed guide has all the facts the novice bonsai enthusiast needs to get started. An illustrated classification of styles describes every shape, and how to train the tree; suitable plants for each type; and basic elements of design. Nurture an excellent root structure; create bonsai from seeds, cuttings, layering, and grafting; and learn to prune branches, shoots, and leaves. Thicken trunks, correct branch growth with wiring; repot plants; care for the soil; eliminate deadly viral diseases and pests, and even unearth a bonsai in the wild. Whether you have a single tree, small and perfect, or an entire miniature landscape, your plant will have the harmony so prized in this ancient art. 196 pages (all in color), 5 7/8 x 8 1/4.

1.0 out of 5 stars BOOHHH!!, March 8, 2007
By L. Potts (Jackson, MS) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the only bonsai book I have read so far, but it makes me scared to read another if it is like this. This severly disorganized in a manner that makes it seem like a bunch of pieces one cannot inherently put back together. I believe for a more advanced bonsai'er with some previous knowledge and experience, then the book might be "ok." But for us first timers, I need something a little more "reader friendly."
