Julian R. Adams has been deeply
immersed in growing pine bonsai for fifty years. His early work with
pines was frustrating due to incomplete and conflicting information
about pine culture for bonsai. Persistent investigation and growing
has led to a deep understanding of how the two groups of pines
used for bonsai should be treated by the grower in creating excellent
bonsai. This book presents a clear picture of how both groups of pines
grow and how they should be treated to achieve healthy plants
with short needles. The techniques used are explained in detail with
many full color photos of each important stage throughout the annual
growing cycle.
Reasons for
the actions recommended are given so that the "rules" become clear
guides rather than mysterious commands. A major aim of this book
is to make creating bonsai with pines an easily attainable goal for
previously unexperienced or intimidated pine growers.
