The Secret Techniques of Bonsai: A Guide to Starting, Raising, and Shaping Bonsai

Description

In The Secret Techniques of Bonsai, the author of the groundbreaking Bonsai
With American Trees teams up with his son to offer not only the basics for
creating perfect bonsai, but also secret techniques they’ve developed over
years of careful work and observation. The Kawasumis provide detailed, easy-
to-follow information about growing bonsai from seedlings or beginner plants;
expert advice on shaping, pruning, training, grafting and repotting trees; and
new techniques for using tools. And, although the Kawasumi family is
worldrenowned for their bonsai tool design, their instructions allow gardeners
to improvise with other readily-accessible bonsai, gardening or even simple
workshop tools. Step-by-step photographs accompany the text, many in full-
color. Masakuni Kawasumi III, the first qualified tree doctor for bonsai in
Japan, contributes his unique insights to make this an invaluable resource for
beginners and experienced enthusiasts alike. Read more
