The Japanese and Chinese have been creating bonsai trees for centuries and it is now an internationally popular pastime. This compact and stylish guide will provide everything you need to know to grow bonsai successfully, including shaping with wires, watering, seasonal maintenance, tackling common ailments, choosing the right container, feeding and repotting. A directory of over 90 of the most popular species, illustrated with beautiful photographs, will enable you to find the tree that is right for you. Review: Bonsai for beginners and more - This book came packaged well. It is much more detailed than I expected and has a lot of information, including species and pictures. It seems good for anyone who is interested in the art of Bonsai, whether new or experienced. I am a beginner and found it easy to understand and I would expect someone who knows Bonsai might use this "bible" as an informative reference. Review: Just what I was looking for - I have followed Peter Chan's YT channel for some time and appreciate his expert but un-intimidating teaching style. With this compact little book I have all the info at my fingertips. It starts with all the basics of pruning and shaping (total newbie here) The info is very well organized and consistent for all plant types, many clear photos on strong water-resistant paper (I'll take it to my greenhouse). I'm super thrilled.

Itโs ok
The book itself is ok. I was looking for something a little more in depth. Itโs has good info but nothing you canโt look up in 2 sec. It is nice to have some of my trees care requirements on hand.

Helpful
I bought this as a gift to go with a beginner Bonsai tool set. Just thumping thru it my husband said it had a lot of good information. As a beginner he said it was helpful to have.

Very handy as a beginners'overview
For a low price, you receive a small factor handy book, with useful overall informations - general instructions in bonsai knowledge and techniques - more that 100 different trees species exposed on double-page with story and care informations - hundreds of pictures to illustrate all of that (per tree, on full tree example and one detail pic each) To have in your pocket ! I discovered Peter Chan through Heron's Bonsai youtube channel - a master on realistic Bonsai passion

Very nice book
Very nice book filled with a multitude of pictures, haven't read the whole book but flicked through managing to find bits I wanted fairly quickly so a good overall book for beginners but also competent bonsai keepers. Apart from the pictures, there is a lot of good advice, well laid out, and easy to understand even for a complete novice. The only thing that could be improved is the size, the book is rather small, a little bigger than pocket size I would say, so the text is quite small but nonetheless a very good informative book.
