Description
Growing bonsai is a special skill. The pruning and shaping that goes into creating a tree cannot be achieved by technique alone, it also requires an artist's imagination. The author demonstrates the methods behind growing beautiful bonsai from three specific genera: the hornbeam, elm and juniper. He demonstrates the shaping and culture of these trees by taking 16 case histories from his own collection compiled over many years.
