This essential practical guide aims to take the mystery out of pruning. Each chapter includes practical advice, illustrated with step-by-step photographic sequences and artworks, on the initial training of the plant; how to prune; and how to undertake renovation pruning.
An invaluable directory then looks at a wide range of ornamental plants and explains the timing, frequency and method of pruning for each species.
With over 600 photographs and specially commissioned artworks, many of them step-by-step, this is the only book on pruning ornamental plants that any gardener will ever need.
