..up on my Bonsai education and techniques.
Any bonsai lovers out here, that can point me in direction of a useful book or have any tips of their own?

Thank you so much! I absolutely love the Huntington and all it has to offer.
I was recently gifted a beautiful bonsai and realized I have very little knowledge. I went to read up and what I found was difficult to absorb.


Thank-you again!

Hey, that's pretty cool. I'm going to see how to get started and learn on a small tree.

Sweet offer, but I'd rather use a tree to start until I get really good but after that I'm open to working on humans. I'll update my notes.

^^^ I’ve got the same except apples but by the beach, different climate. Oh, and figs and guava, I’ve been cutting back to control height the past few weeks but neglected to truly prune over the winter.

They’ve all gone wild this year. So have my 🍅…

Note to self: bonsai tomato plants
