Synopsis
Can you imagine caring for a forest of over 40,000 bonsai trees? That's what the authors do for a living, and why they have the knowledge to provide a detailed analysis of over 70 outdoor and indoor species. Their master class covers propagation--seeds, cuttings, layering and grafting; care--sunshine, ventilation, temperature, type of pot, and cleaning; growth--repotting, soil, pruning, wiring, watering, spraying, and feeding. Treated are pests and diseases, their symptoms and treatment, as well as special tools. Superb color photos and detailed line drawings help you properly train your trees. Among the species you'll learn about: conifers (cedar, cypress, juniper, spruce, pine, yew); deciduous (maple, birch, beech, oak, willow, elm); flowering and fruit trees (barberry, camellia, holly, jasmine, apple, almond, apricot, firethorn, lilac, wisteria); indoor (ampelopsis, bamboo, bougainvillea, box, fig, gardenia, schefflera).

Reviews
Eternally fascinating yet frequently intimidating, bonsai remains something of a curiosity to most plant enthusiasts. But now, with the help of this exceptional new book, this ancient horticultural art form is no longer quite so overwhelming. With a wealth of information carefully organized into chapters on bonsai's history, styles, classifications, and care, the Samsons bring nearly 30 years of experience to light in a nearly encyclopedic reference guide. Brilliant color photographs of more than 70 of the most suitable trees for bonsai development are compelling enough to entice even the most hesitant of gardeners to try their hand. The finer points of bonsai culture--containers, propagation, temperature, sunlight, water, pests, and diseases--are thoroughly documented and explained through uncomplicated photography and illustrations. Seemingly timeless yet constantly changing, bonsai gardening is to be both admired and attempted. For anyone with a yen to control Mother Nature, the Samsons have written a captivating guide to both the creative and the practical art of bonsai. Carol Haggas
