Book Reviews of Bonsai with Japanese Maples
Book Review: An absolute must for any bonsai enthusiast.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was skeptical about how much could be written about Japanese maples alone in the context of bonsai culture. My fears where quickly quashed by this wonderful book. Not only does it provide fantastic information about working with these great trees, but it offers some of the best example I've ever seen on maple bonsai from which to gather inspiration.
Not a beginners book, but a book that will bridge the gap between beginner and specialist. Highly recommended.
Summary of Bonsai with Japanese Maples
With their delicate foliage, seasonal color changes, and intricate pattern of branching, Japanese maples are among the most popular and suitable plants for bonsai design. In this long-awaited book, internationally renowned expert Peter Adams discusses both the specific horticultural needs of Japanese maples as bonsai subjects and illustrates proven techniques for creating and maintaining beautiful specimens. Although aimed at an audience that has some familiarity with bonsai techniques, the book deliberately shows a mix of bonsai at different stages in their training, so that less experienced enthusiasts can gain new ideas and inspiration from trees that are "works in progress." Much more than a mere "how-to" book, Bonsai with Japanese Maples is a forthright attempt to look at bonsai as art objects and to critique and assess them from an artist's perspective.Bonsai Books
