Although the cultivation of bonsai requires some highly specialized techniques, bonsai themselves are first and foremost just trees, and as such grow in much the same way as the trees in woods and forests. So it is a good idea to remind yourself what a tree is, the various parts of its anatomy, how a broad-leaved tree differs from a conifer and a deciduous one from an evergreen, and above all, what conditions favour its development.
All of these elements are indispensable to growing bonsai successfully and fully explained in this remarkable book.
