Looking for book on branch trimming and selection

[remist17]

Im looking for a book that will show examples of thinning,trimming and pruning our trees. What do you recomend?

I think that depends on what type of trees you are talking about.
For maples, Peter Adams books,
for pines, Stone Lantern has a decent one,
for general overall (and a great book) Deborah Koreshoff's
I also like Harry Harrington's first book (don't have the second one)

I like Harry harringtons books if your into deciduous trees. Plus they are available as e books which is great.

Harry Harrington's Bonsai Inspirations 1 and 2 are good for this. A lot of the books I read before those described techniques, but Harrington's actually show the work and the progress the trees make from stock to "finished" bonsai.

Add John Naka's books to the list.

Do NOT forget David DeGroot's "Basic Bonsai Design." That kind of thing is what it's for.
