Shaping Maples
by Peter Adams
softcover
5 1/2" by 8 1/2", 108 pages
This book looks at maples as bonsai and how they can be developed into those fascinating shapes we all love. Most of the trees dealt with are of Asian origins but the same shaping ideas can be applied to most small leaved maple species. Currently there is an upsurge of interest in deciduous species as bonsai and the trend is towards producing "natural-looking" trees.

Botany for Bonsai
by Enrique Castano
softcover
5 1/2" by 8 1/2", 124 pages
When we can predict what happens in a week, month, year, etc., it will lead us to a better planning of the design that our trees can achieve as they change over time. To better plan the designs of our trees some information is required. We need to acquire the skills to predict what will happen if we apply a spe-cific treatment to the tree. This is important knowledge in developing a further understanding of our bonsai. Here the author is providing the basics for some of the physiological nature of the trees we cherish so much.
