From Booklist
Busch reveals the mysteries of creating the dramatic, often startling miniature plants that typify the art of Bonsai. He highlights more than 30 native species of deciduous trees, shrubs, and conifers and explains the necessary elements of growing and shaping them. He offers detailed pointers on Bonsai's aesthetic requirements, and numerous color photographs illustrate this art form that originated in China and evolved more fully in Japan. Written for newcomers, Busch's manual yet provides helpful counsel to experienced gardeners, too. Alice Joyce

I think this book is excellent. Although the trees are native to Europe, most of the advice applies perfectly to people in temperate North America. Scots Pine, yew, spindle, beech, hawthorn, apple, willow etc... all species are covered in detail with info on training, pests, propagation, etc.... Definitely not just for Europeans, anyone in the Eastern U.S. and most of Canada will find this very useful. Great photos, too!
