    A Book About Dan Robinson's Techniques?

    You are correct, i did try to spur you on, but only because you did such a great job tellings us about Dan's journey, that i had hoped that you would do a "Paul Harvey" and tell us "the rest of the story". Enjoy your well earned vacation.:)

    A Book About Dan Robinson's Techniques?

    Sorry Will, you opened the can , now show us what else is in there.:) You should have realised when you started the book about Dan Robinson , that it would not all fit between "one set of covers". I already told Diane and Victrinia that the vacation was over and you all should start working on...

    Austrian Black Pine (Imbedded Photos)

    Si, in nature, the Branch locations are considered the ideal "natural" placement for survival. Take a page out of Vickys book, grab your camera and spend some time in a forest taking pictures of the top of trees for inspirations. The older the growth, the better. In nature, branches are grown to...

    I have a question ?

    I got the same one today with a slight twist. If you don't go to the site , they will notify my I.S.P. that my computer sent them a virus. Sure, if you believe that , i have a brige for sale in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Cheap, just six million dollars.

    Book Review: "Mission of Transformation," by Robert Steven

    Vance, you are the answer to a "newbee's" prayer. I have NOT read Robert's books, but i have read quite a few others, and the the question " WHY" is ignored. If i was to rank the information provided by most authors, #1 is "What, you must do", #2 is "How, you must do it,and #99999 is "Why you...

    On parenting and bonsai

    :) Rick, I liked the article very much. It was very informative. I feel that you were very successful in explaining things. Your example of "sibling behavior" was spot on. If i had to compare your article with some of the "Bonsai" books i have read in the last three months, based on the...

    Walter, thank you for the " Slap on the Head". Teachers need to do that sometimes to get the students attention. It appears that i have been looking for the wrong information! I was concentrating on finding the "Bonsai secret for growing trees in miniature", instead of concentrating on finding...

Seeing and reading about "what" and "how" it was done, provided a truely informative source for the advancement of my knowledge about Bonsai. I want to thank you for your efforts to...

    Whats in a book?

    In my case i treat books as a source of new questions. I started reseaching Bonsai in September of this year because i wondered whether or not i could grow herbs to resemble some of the bonsai trees i saw on several vacation trips. I grow Rosemary and Thyme herbs to satisfy my wifes needs for...

Since i am new to bonsai and most of the samples i have seen were in the 30 odd books i've read in the...
