From the Inside Flap
Long considered one of the most daunting tasks in the garden, pruning is first and foremost a simple caretaking craft. And armed with the information in this book plus a rudimentary set of tools, it is a skill that any gardener can easily learn.
From the fundamentals of plant structure and the dynamics of growth through a specimen-by-specimen illustrated guide to 50 plants, trees, and shrubs, Pruning is a complete tutorial.
It shows how to make a cut that protects the plant from invasive diseases and promotes natural healing; how to cut and shape during a plant's infancy to minimize pruning in its maturity; when to prune, and why to prune during seasons once considered off-limits.
