 Very basic guide February 19, 2010
J. Knight (Winslow, AR United States)
When I first got this book, I felt it had everything I needed. Two weeks later, I realize I need more. A lot more. But it was an excellent start at a good price, so I am satisfied.
 wealth of knowledge for the Bonsai beginner! February 12, 2010
J. Haggard (Nashville, TN)
I'm a Bonsai newbie, I wanted a Bonsai for years and this last christmas my wife surprised me with my first Bonsai Juniper tree. I had no idea what to do to it or how to take care of it so I looked for a book that would provide the info I needed. This book really looked good from the description and reviews so I took a chance.
The book covers just about everything a bonsai beginner needs to know. There is a bit of contradiction in the book I found because in one part it says juniper bonsai's need to be outdoors and another part says they can stay indoors. I wasn't sure what to do with mine so I try to put it outside when I can and when it gets cold I will bring it in and put it on my desk.
The book itself seems to be very accurate in terms of planting, replanting, pruning, watering and caring for a large number of bonsai plants. The book has great pictures on many types of bonsai trees and really made me want to move up to more bonsai plants one I am confient I can handle my first juniper.
The books is great, has a wealth of information and I really encourage people that are new to the hobby to get this book. It has helped me greatly.

Book is very helpful for newcomer to Bonsai and would be helpful I would think to folks who have some experience in that it covers tips and info by specific tree. Glad I bought it.
Just the ticket... December 28, 2008

This book is just the right thing to get me started in this Bonsai process. It has complete all around knowledge. I needed a general book to help me but a complete one. This fits the bill.
