The essential guide to the selection, cultivation and presentation of miniature trees and shrubs, with over 800 photographs

The ancient art of creating perfectly formed miniature trees is clearly explained in this practical book.

An expert introduction describes the best trees and shrubs to use and the importance of bonsai size, proportion and aesthetics.

The art of displaying your bonsai is also examined, with advice on pots and containers, accessories and stands.

Guidance is given on basic bonsai techniques, such as defoliating and wiring, and special how-to sequences show how to design 15 classic bonsai shapes from formal and informal upright to slanting and windswept.

An invaluable visual directory of over 40 of the most suitable bonsai plants, as well as advice on seasonal care and maintenance, completes this informative manual.
