Description

With their delicate foliage, seasonal color changes, and intricate pattern of branching, Japanese maples are among the most popular and suitable plants for bonsai design. In this long-awaited book, internationally renowned expert Peter Adams discusses both the specific horticultural needs of Japanese maples as bonsai subjects and illustrates proven techniques for creating and maintaining beautiful specimens. Although aimed at an audience that has some familiarity with bonsai techniques, the book deliberately shows a mix of bonsai at different stages in their training, so that less experienced enthusiasts can gain new ideas and inspiration from trees that are "works in progress." Much more than a mere "how-to" book, Bonsai with Japanese Maples is a forthright attempt to look at bonsai as art objects and to critique and assess them from an artist's perspective. Read more

    • Just what I was looking for
Format: Hardcover
This book provides the kind of detailed practical guidance that I was looking for in order to grow maple bonsai. There are many bonsai books out there that are little more than a bunch of pretty photos of different bonsai species. This book is not at all like that. It does have beautiful photos, but the book is jam packed full of information as well. The photos that are included in the book serve practical ends, showing examples of the progression of bonsai designs over time. Although the title gives no hint of it, the book also covers trident maples extensively. ... show more

    • A great Maple Bonsai book
Format: Hardcover
If you are interested in the maple cultivar as a Bonsai, well this is the little book for you. I live in Florida and for years I have been trying to keep Japanese Maples alive with no good luck as the temperature here is hot in the summer. The current Maple tree I have, it's been with me for the last 2 years, and had not fair to good. Now I have to tell you that after reading this book, and put to practice what I learned; my tree is finally thriving. The information is great and there is a great deal of drawings and photos to guide you throughout the hall process. I hope you will enjoy this book as much as I have. ... show more

    • An absolute must for any bonsai enthusiast.
Format: Hardcover
I was skeptical about how much could be written about Japanese maples alone in the context of bonsai culture. My fears where quickly quashed by this wonderful book. Not only does it provide fantastic information about working with these great trees, but it offers some of the best example I've ever seen on maple bonsai from which to gather inspiration. Not a beginners book, but a book that will bridge the gap between beginner and specialist. Highly recommended. ... show more

    • great for advanced but more photos required
Format: Hardcover
great little book, opened my eyes to a world of ideas and techniques, but I have to say that in parts it feels more like an exercise for the Author to display his above-average but not brilliant sketching skills. Big minuspoint here is the lack of photography in this book. The case studies cover photos well in most cases, but overall I was left a little underwhelmed by this aspect as a beginner needing very specific pictures. Saying that it has some utterly invaluable advice, techniques and tips and I'm sure I'll refer back to it often. ... show more

    • Top of the line
Format: Hardcover
For the topic and for the money, this is the best book going. Text is clear and meaningful, photos are sharp and true to color, and the sketches are far and away the best illustration of what the author is trying to get across with regard to future plans and designs for the subject tree. Excellent book. ... show more
