synex wrote: All, Many thanks for the advice. You've given me some good help. I will look at the books recommended, as learning is paramount for me. Several things though - I did state that I was going to get a small shrub to "practice" on, and I will. Secondly, growing from seed is something that will happen for me, so why spend 5 years learning how to prune/style a tree, and *then* put some seeds in the ground to have to wait another 2-3 years when I can plant these now and practice on a shrub at the same time? That means I learn about growing from seed as well as learning about fully-grown plants. Incidentally, if anyone can recommend somewhere in the UK which will sell me a reasonably-sized, healthy bonsai, HI read first and learn .. from now to spring you have enough time to have teh ideas more clear about .. the Thomlinson books gives also the species that are suitable for a bonsai and how to choose them according some rules not all trees are suitable and some are more suitable tha others to try to explain all in few mails will only lead you intop a big confusion reading a book you'll see your preferences in matter of trees and teh eventual difficulties involved .. and with time you'll see more and more clear and make your own choices I would appreciate it. Most of the nurseries that do supply Bonsai will not move them by post, and are a little far away for me. Finally, to the peron that said "we all love to have free the knowledge some of us acquired spending HIS time to get it !" - I said so ! and I was talking of the time that people has spent to make out of the Bonsai a profession ,and a living it was not direct to you anyway I *AM* spending time to acquire knowledge, we all do, did, will do in future that's my purpose of being here. It's not about getting the most information for the least amount of work, which is what you seem to imply. you might have receptioned it this way , it was not my intention , but unfortunately, as I am on 4 different NG spanish italian english and french , I realized this is a sad reality The internet is a rich resource, and I am using it. Many thanks, once again, all. I'll let you know how things go... Intenet is useless unless you know the basic know how ... can be a rich complement though! I am doing bonsai since 27 years before internet existed and some people even far more than I.. and we all learned and still learn but without the basic knowledge internet will make a big mess in your mind... but a do as you please..
