Links to good articles

[maroun.c]

Hi All,
I've done my share of searches and reading and wonder if you have links to must reads that I might have sskipped.
My main interest for coming period to read about are following topics:
Soil (how to tell if plant is happy before its too late )
Bonsai styles
Shaping
Pruning
Fertilizing
I'm interested in most common bonsaïs as I will expand my selection but my main interest is Olives and the coming ones I'll have are ulmus pine juniper and Cedar.
Thanks for any links or books or must reads for above topics or any other you think I should check.

1. For all stuff on growing/tending bonsai evergreengardenworks.com/articles.
2. Art is tough, but Andy Rutledge's Bonsai Aesthetics is a good beginning.
   1. I didn't really 'get it', though, until I read Francois Jeker's book.

After these, Google Scholar and Google Images have been my best resources - that is aside from lots of trees and practice, practice, practice.
