  This no-nonsense guide aims to dispel the mystique that surrounds bonsai collecting. It provides profiles of 50 popular commercial varieties, with at-a-glance information on the key topics of light, temperature, watering, feeding, pruning and soil conditions. The differing horticultural and aesthetic requirements of indoor (tender, sub-tropical) and outdoor (hard) trees are made clear at every stage. Advice on how to buy a bonsai, and then how to keep the tree in good and healthy shape is included.
