Bonsai: The Art of Growing and Keeping Miniature Trees

What a wonderful little book this truly is! As a beginner I've purchased several books about Bonsai / PenJing but sadly been a little disappointed with the details concerning important information about timing and methods of growing etc. This slim volume was the shortest and the cheapest of my purchases, and has the most comprehensive explanations, not only of what and how, but also the species of plant on which the method works best, as well as those on which it might not. Even a short browse through the content of text and photos I had a clearer idea of what tools I would need and when to prepare. If you are a bonsai beginner I recommend this book without any hesitation (& thank you Peter Chan)

I’ve had a few bonsai over the years but met the author at his nursery, so bought the book to read. I was not disappointed. Very informative for novice and experienced alike.

Peter Chan's nurseries are not far from me in East Grinstead. It's a wonderful place to see.. full of Bonsai of all descriptions. Well worth a visit. So glad to have found one of his books

Interesting book filled with knowledge

Excellent

Great book.

Very good lots of info on bonsai worth it id say love it

Very good and helpful

Bought this for my mother. She absolutely loves it. The information is easy to read, the history inserts are great and the photos are inspiring. Thank you.

Peter Chan’s You Tube enthusiasm for bonsai carries through in this superbly illustrated volume. Lots of tips to save time and money as well as putting bonsai into perspective. Specific step by step pictured instructions for the neophyte. Lists and opinions on different plants. Even in paperback this book looks good, superb cover shot. Deborah Koreshoff my other bonsai volume is a lot more flowery

I have bought several books now on Bonsai and this is the ONLY one I would recommend, the others were just horrendous with little to know structure and huge font just to fill out the pages. This book on the other hand is full of information and techniques laid out in an easy to follow method. If you are interested Peter has an excellent youtube channel too.

Good book, to take your bonsai knowledge a little beyond beginner level, not perhaps for people who are already quite proficient in the art. Great for amateurs to learn a little more.

Nice book, nice pictures, good tutorials. Peter Chan is one of the best bonsai masters. I really recommend to everyone.
