I wish there were more detailed pictures of the trimming process, which is the biggest hardship for beginners. Otherwise a very nice introduction to the topic.

Great for beginners (like me)

I’ll read through it a few times no doubt, but there is a lot of practical knowledge and tips that you can use immediately. Can’t wait to scour my neighborhood for local trees that’ll “volunteer” for becoming bonsai.

[Ama Akar]

Good introduction into the Bonsai world.

Informative for these starting their journey with Bonsi. All you need to start adventure with your own tree. Clear instructions and beautiful pictures.

Very Informative

This was very helpful. I do not have any experience with bonsai. I can’t wait to get started. This has told me everything I need to get started.

Learned alot from this book, works as a handybook when working with bonsai. Covers everything you need to know to start.

I was given a bonsai when I quit my job last January and to date I've done absolutely nothing except to make sure it stayed hydrated. Hopefully I'll be able to apply the stuff in this book (which was clear and easy to understand) and keep it happy forever.
