Great if you're new to Bonsai

This audiobook really covers a lot about Bonsai in a short time. The author explains both the Western and Eastern perspective of Bonsai, and I found it really interesting because he talks about how in the Eastern culture where it began, Bonsai is something that is passed down from generation to generation, and there are trees that have been in families for years. I thought that was really cool. The author covers the different types of trees that you can use for this, the tools that you need, and then covers the basics for trimming and caring for your Bonsai tree. There was a lot that I didn't know, for example, I had no idea you also had to trim the roots of the tree to keep it healthy. There is also detailed instructions about watering, trimming dead branches, using wire to shape your tree and the type of wire you would need to use, etc. There's really a lot of great information here, so if you're interested in Bonsai, I think you would really love this audiobook and find it helpful.
