Miniature bonsai made easy...

Absolutely the best book if you want to do miniature bonsai. Very informative and easy to follow!

An absolute treasure!

This is a book that goes into detail, has beautiful pictures and good directions. I consider it a treasure in my library of Bonsai books!

Excellent Book

If you are into Bonsai as much as I am, you'll love this book.This book covers the rare subject of "mame" Bonsai, or "in hand". We're talking about Bonsai who's pots are smaller than an open hand ( in the book, there is a photo of a bonsai who's pot is no larger than half a walnut!).It's a great resource if you want to get into this ultra small of alredy small trees. Rarely do you find a Bonsai book that give a little more than just a blurb as to what Mame bonsai is.

Great Chart!

One of the things that I really like about this book is the chart. There is a list of different plants and for each there a recommended pruning style, repotting time and more. Plus there is a lot of good information about how the care for minature bonsai is different from the regular sized bonsai.

I love this book.

I am rather new at this art, and I found that all the questions I had about miniature bonsai were pretty much answered in this book. It is filled with how-to directions and advise. Herb passes his years of bonsai expertise on to readers in a style that is direct, easy to read and humorous. It is a great reference book that I will probably use forever.
