If you have ever thought about purchasing or creating a bonsai but thought it would be to difficult to care for then this book is for you. Maybe you have purchased a bonsai only to have it slowly fade away and die in a short period of time. Dennis has been a bonsai professional for over 25 years. He has met and worked with many well know bonsai masters from around the world. One thing he discovered over the years was that caring for bonsai was not unlike caring for a pet in your home. In this book, Mr Nolan reminds you throughout his book, Creating Bonsai, that just like a pet, a bonsai tree will tell you when it is in need or in trouble. It will tell you when to water, trim and even with to feed. Basically with this knowledge you will be able to develop the five habits described in his book that will make caring for your bonsai a simple task.
