Chapter 69 About the Species Guides

Each of the pages in this part of the book describes a genus or species of trees used in bonsai. The pages have photos of the particular species, and summarize preferred soil type, moisture and light levels, cultivation notes, potting, pruning, feeding, and winter storage. If I know anything about common pests, I have included that along with historical and propagation notes.

Send me suggestions for improving the guides, or add a new guide for a tree I do not have here. Please remember that I want this guide to be specific to our region of North Carolina, so make your suggestions with that in mind.
