Bernie: Try not to be so black and white in your approach to
bonsai knowledge. There is good information to be obtained in
bonsai books. And it is usually fairly well organized and with
photos and illustrations. Of course, there is poor information to
be found in bonsai books.
You can also find appallingly poor information in this
forum ... along with excellent advice. My point is that if you
want good bonsai information and education, you need to diversify
your approach. Learn from the list, of course, but don't ignore
books, clubs and other resources.

From: Bernie

Thank you all very sincerely for taking the time to answer my
question
regarding pruning Juniper Chinensis.

I am a new starter at bonsai, and have acquired a couple of these
trees which I hope to transform over the years.

It is particularly nice to know I have joined a Bonsai forum
where my
questions get so many helpful answers.

In future I will forego the books and ask my questions from my
friends
here.

Again many thanks for all your very kind help.

Bernie
