I just made up a mallsai of a small Shimpaku for a silent auction. I'm
planning to add a beginner's book, but can anyone point me to an article on growing
Shimpaku bonsai? The only one I found, from Sabrina Caine, has too many
errors.

Iris: Why not just direct them to the beginner bonsai class on
juniper produced by Herb Gustafson for the IBC site?

And if you know of errors in Sabrina's article, maybe you should
send an errata sheet to BCI (Alan????) so someone can do a
corrected version. I'm sure BCI wan'ts accurate info.

The "beginner's beginner's book" (and cheap!) is DK Books' "101
Essential Tips: Bonsai" which only costs $5.00 and packs a LOT
of concise info into 72 shirt-pocket-sized pages. It's by Harry
Tomlinson.

That's Walston. He doesn't have one.

Sorry, I have too many other things I have to do. And I don't know enough
about Shimpaku myself.
The auction package will include a beginner's book, but I wanted to include
an article specifically about Shimpaku.
