The Bonsai Workshop

By Herb L. Gustafson

This book is intended for those wanting to grow and train their own bonsai trees. The author takes you through the entire process. From the very beginning, helping you decide what type of tree to use for your bonsai, through training and caring for your tree. He does this with detailed instructions and plenty of pictures. The beginner will enjoy fact that the author tries to walk them through common roadblocks like deciding what the established bonsai tree should look like. The intermediate bonsai grower will appreciate the attention to detail and will probably learn something new too. And of course the author covers caring for your bonsai in detail. If you just bought a bonsai tree and are looking for a guide for caring for it, this probably isn't the book for you. It goes into far too much detail in training than you're looking for. But you might find it interesting to find out how your tree came to be what it is.
