The exquisite art of bonsai is beautifully explained in this authoritative, practical handbook, which takes you from your first foray into the world of miniature trees to a level of considerable expertise. The Bonsai Handbook is packed with in-depth information and illustrations detailing every facet of this classic hobby, from aesthetics and anatomy to cultivation, propagation, and pruning, covering both indoor and outdoor varieties. All the tools and the skills needed are described, and a beautiful photographic compendium displays the top 24 species, both outdoor and indoor. This book is a guide both for newcomers to the art as well as for bonsai gardeners or home decorators with some knowledge of the subject.

The handbook describes, in clear, helpful text along with step-by-step illustrations and finely detailed photographs, the anatomy and the art of this classic hobby. It describes the rules—and also describes how those rules can be broken. It will enable a beginner to start your own bonsai collection—whether of home-grown or bought trees—and to keep your bonsai healthy and in good shape. It will also answer questions for bonsai enthusiasts who already have some experience with the art.

Written by David Prescott, award-winning bonsai practitioner and an enthusiastic and much-admired teacher of the art, this informative how-to book is the perfect reference for bonsai owners at any level of expertise. Consultant editor Colin Lewis is an experienced teacher, judge, author, and winner of many international awards for bonsai and the photography of bonsai.
