can be developed into those fascinating shapes we all love. Most of the
trees dealt with are of Asian origins but the same shaping ideas can be
applied to most small leaved maple species. Currently there is an upsurge

year, etc., it will lead us to a better planning of the design that our
trees can achieve as they change over time. To better plan the designs of

This is important knowledge in developing a further understanding of our
bonsai. Here the author is providing the basics for some of the
physiological nature of the trees we cherish so much.

inspiration but only as a beginning idea.
