Reviews

More than 200 pages on pruning? Isn't it just a matter of cutting back old shoots? The truth of the matter is that pruning is not only about removing unwanted shoots, but also about stimulating the growth of others. This comprehensive manual explains basic techniques through step-by-step intructions with the aid of 300 color photographs and diagrams. A directory of trees, shrubs, and climbers--from abelia to zenobia--explains whether a particular plant benefits from pruning and, if so, how and when to do it. There is a special section on roses and clematis, as well as ones on conifers, fruit, and hedges. Useful for both beginning and experienced gardeners. George Cohen
