Grow Your Own Bonsai by Colin Lewis & Neil Sutherland
Price: $14.95 Add To Cart

"Part art, part horticulture, a properly shaped, trained, and potted bonsai becomes more beautiful with age. Covering every key technique and style, plus cultivation, maintenance, and display, this book's right-from-the-beginning basics go from root to leaf to bud - the entire lifecycle of a tree. In large closeup photos, see how they grow, and how to buy and propagate them from seed or cutting. Trim, shape with wire, repot, root prune, and do summer pinching. Most spectacular are the displays, shown in detailed pictures, with informaion on preparing them, including choosing a pot. Successfully nurture a micro-forest on a slab; a simple, but wonderfully effective raft planting; a dramatic tree with its roots wrapped around a rock; and other breathtaking bonsai."
