Very Good Book Ash opens the eyes does it not. Also how long do you leave the wire on, is answered in plate 126 Yezo spruce.

Hmm Spuce is hard to set? I wonder what all this is about???

[Pup]

For those who do not have, and have not read Classic Bonsai of Japan, plate 126 is a black and white, of the Yezo spruce reputed to be 1000 years old by dating of core.
It has wire on it so at 1000 years it is still growing so needs rewiring, on occasions.

Being a spruce maybe it will always need wire

I am pouring over the Tokyo museum exhibition 1992 and 1993. They are the photographs of the exhibition itself. No words, only pictures. Unbelievable.

I have a lot of books, I'm a serial reader (and pest, some tell me ) and I'm always re-visiting favourite titles.

For me, it is not a question of what book to read, rather, who's book to read:
Deborah Koreshoff, Peter D Adams (new book on Junipers coming soon!), Colin Lewis, Peter Chan , Dan Barton, Harry Tomlinson, Yuji Yoshimura, Kyuzo and Kenji Murata, Dave Prescott, the Japan Bonsai Association, occasionally Craig Coussins and a little known American fella with a big grin that goes by the name John Yoshio Naka.

And anything on the web about:
Marco Invernizzi, Hans Van Meer, Walter Pall, Enrico Savini, Kunio Kobayashi, Masahiko Kimura, Hiroshi Takeyama, Nobuichi Urushibata, Andy Rutledge, Brent Walston, William Valvanis and god knows how many others.

Cheers

I've just finished reading/studying "Understanding pH management for container-grown crops". Bonsai -wise, I am constantly studying Kyosuke Gun's books.
