About this title

Synopsis

Provides detailed, step-by-step horticultural instructions and insight into the creative process of bonsai, with descriptions of stock and equipment, basic care and training techniques, and new methods of achieving quicker results

Reviews

This is a practical introduction to bonsai growing by experienced British grower Barton. It includes a good mix of diagrams and photos, clear growing directions, and recommended plants suitable for successful bonsai results. This nicely complements Classic Bonsai of Japan ( LJ 11/1/89) in its instructions for growers who would like to attempt this plant art form. Recommended for libraries with demand for information on bonsai cultivation.
