Shaping Maples
by Peter
Adams
This book looks at maples as bonsai and how they
can be developed into those fascinating shapes we all love. Most
of the
trees dealt with are of Asian origins but the same shaping ideas
can be
applied to most small leaved maple species. Currently there is an
upsurge
of interest in deciduous species as bonsai and the trend is
towards
producing "natural-looking" trees.

Botany for Bonsai
by Enrique
Castano
When we can predict what happens in a week, month,
year, etc., it will lead us to a better planning of the design
that our
trees can achieve as they change over time. To better plan the
designs of
our trees some information is required. We need to acquire the
skills to
predict what will happen if we apply a spe-cific treatment to the
tree.
This is important knowledge in developing a further understanding
of our
bonsai. Here the author is providing the basics for some of the
physiological nature of the trees we cherish so much.
