Species Specific Information
Ok. So I'm learning like crazy and soaking up information like a sponge. So much so that my head is about to explode. In an attempt to reach maximum overload and finally blow my top, I would like to learn more about specific species.
For example: OMC wrote in a thread regarding "Selecting material for Bonsai" that one must know their species, and he talks about Dawn Redwood budding like crazy from the trunk where as other species do not. This is a general example but where can I learn more of the tendencies of specific species? All my Bonsai books are much more general. Are there any good books? articles? or should I take the learn and observe as I go route? I would hate to severely chop a tree and find out the hard way it doesn't bud the way I had hoped.
Any info greatly appreciated.
