Learn all about bonsai tree design and care with this comprehensive Japanese bonsai gardening book.Japanese miniature landscapes and; particularly; dwarf trees-"bonsai;" as they are frequently called even in the West-have long been admired throughout the world. It may come as a surprise to inexperienced gardeners but the creation and care of bonsai is a comparatively simple art which can actually be systematically taught rather than; as in earlier books on the subject; just talked about vaguely. Now; given a reasonably green thumb and a modicum of patience; anyone in any country can create his own bonsai.The Japanese art of Miniature Trees and Landscapes contains detailed instructions; together with many helpful diagrams and charts and a treasury of photographs; on every phase of the art: propagation and training; with hints for those in a hurry and for small-apartment dwellers; daily and seasonal care; and treatment of pests; how to judge; select; and exhibit bonsai; with emphasis always upon the untold enjoyment they can provide. Included also; for those who want still more detailed information; are invaluable appendices concerning tools and equipment; soil analyses; and precise data on the more than three hundred species of plants used in making bonsai.
