A Basic Guide to Pruning for the Home Gardener.
Most plants respond well and will benefit from pruning. This commonsense handbook includes step-by-step illustrations and photographs of pruning techniques and common problems most gardeners are faced with. A quick reference chart gives pruning treatments for over 1000 plants.
Each entry has information on what time of the year to prune; whether to prune before or after flowering; whether to prune lightly, moderately or heavily. Specialised pruning techniques include coppicing, pleaching, pruning unstable plants, root pruning, rejuvenation and renovation, tree surgery and branching agents.
