| Hey Guys,
I have been looking for a book specifically on the shaping and training of evergeens. So far all i have found are books with pretty pictures. I have Tomlinsons Complete book of bonsai & Gustafson's bonsai workshop. It would be nice to find is something more advanced and in-depth. B. |

| Go to www.stonelantern.com and ask for Michael Persiano's latest - the pretty pix will knock you dead, but there's also a ton of great info in there (though he tends to be heavy on his superfeeding kick!). Also look for anything by Vance Wood (not sure if he's actually done bks or not - apologies Vance if I've forgotten). Do you not like H.G's book - it's pretty good. |

| Pines are a very advanced topic, but not so advanced you shouldn't try them. The Pines book should be pretty good, but get some one on one help, too. Lucy, I would agree that "Superfeeding" is a kick, but only because of the name. What he is advocating is simply proper feeding. Americans starve their trees, that's why their pines are yellow and spindly, and why it takes so long to grow some species. |

| Well, it's one of those issues that's been argued about for a long time, whether the end result is worth the work, and (a bit like Superthrive) some say yes, and some no, so it's up to you to decide. |
