Looking for a bonsai book or two...

[Bavarian Raven]

Hello all,
I am wondering if there are any 'good' bonsai books (that you would recommend) that focus on evergreen bonsais. Especially in the hemlock/spruce/fir category? These are my fav. species to work with (and that I have access too), and I would like some decent how-to books on these species. While I can keep them alive (i work with plants for a living), but when it comes to styling and the like... lol.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Cheers.

I am not aware of any that specifically deal with those species. They are mentioned in the species section of several books, but not in great detail.

I would suggest looking at Golden Arrow Bonsai, Andy Smith who collects a lot of spruce and fir. He may have some info about them.

All dependent o n what your looking for. Me.... I live in the North East U.S.. So nick lenz bonsai from the wild is a bible for whats available to me locally. Tried and true. Its an older book but crosses over to modem technique if you can dot the i's and cross t's
