If you do not mind me making a suggestion.
Ideal Books: Search for an old Japanese Bonsai 'how to' book. I had seen an excellent book, 'translated' to English. The author was a bonsai grower - a family tradition and profession, passed down by many generations.
Tree Identification: Search Internet for websites that provide 'leaf to tree' identification key.
Cherish your trees with lots of love, and talk to them while watering them - they love it.
