This site is devoted to the art of bonsai. Through pictures and written material I hope to spread the appreciation of this art form.

The information contained herein may vary with different growing conditions and with different bonsai practitioners. Please use the information as a starting point for your bonsai adventures.

Above all enjoy your trees and nature's creations.

At long last it is here! The World of Ficus Bonsai by Jerry Meislik. I have been learning more and more about Ficus and how incredible they are for bonsai and for growing in your home. I have expanded and added new material to create an enlarged and updated book on using Ficus for bonsai. The book is 324 pages loaded with great information and over 300 full color pictures.
It also contains information on 40+ Ficus species suitable for bonsai as well as listing another 40+ species that are not likely to be easy to use for bonsai.

The book is avaialble in softcover, hardcover or as a PDF or Kindle version.
It can be ordered online from either:

Amazon.com

Friesens.com

I no longer sell my first Ficus book, Ficus : The Exotic Bonsai.
The book is a softcover, 8 by 10 inches, with 144 color pages,
containing detailed information for the beginner as well as the advanced hobbyist.

This is still a great book that will be of value to anyone growing bonsai Ficus. It is not as complete as my newer book but it is a great one for those just starting with Ficus or those that do not need the extra materials on rare and unusual Ficus species contained in my newer book.

The best way to order your copy is through Stone Lantern.
