HAPPY BONSAI

With the right advice, anyone can become a bonsai artist and create a living sculpture. This book contains care and pruning profiles for 40 top trees and more than 20 fully illustrated techniques and bonsai styles. Repotting, wire-training branches, defoliating, and root and branch pruning are explained, with illustrations for each stage of the process, and there are demonstrations of how to achieve the main types of bonsai styles, from an informal upright specimen to a forest group or root-over-rock display.
