Choosing and growing Bonsai

Post by Pup »

I have just finished reading a book by Peter Chan. Titled Choosing and Growing Bonsai
published by Hamlyn while not being a Classic it is worth reading. If you can get it.
What I like about apart from the fact I got it for free. Is it shows trees that are not Masterpieces.
As well as very good tree's It is easy to understand well laid out and as I said at the beginning a good read.
ISBN-13: 978-0-600-61442-5
ISBN-10: 0-600-61442-5

Thanks for the review Pup. A novel idea - publishing everyday bonsai that everyone can relate to, not just masterpieces!

Steven

Its kinda one think forgotten about, how to pick stock, and what to leave behind.
