HI Pauline
This is why I adviced Harry Tomlinso as is an English person living in GB and using local stock or foreign under the british climate as a starting book for the next 4-6 years is perfect useless to start with big caliphers .. Pauline Muth wrote: IF you are stuck in an area with no bonsai club or studio to learn at, do try the following books: John Naka's Bonsai Techniques I and II American Bonsai Society Correspondence Course by Tom Zane David De Groot' s Bonsai Design ( Through American Bonsai Society) These can these you the basics and are thoroughly tested and have great information. But all in all you MUST get seasonal information and local species information from people in your area.
