Reviews: Few gardening tasks are as intimidating as pruning trees and shrubs, yet once mastered, this simple and logical process encourages visible results of lush flowers and prolific fruit. Since nature has endowed us with a wide variety of plants with an equally wide variety of growth habits, it's understandable that confusion abounds concerning when and how to prune them. Squire comes to the rescue, summarizing the fundamental principles of technique and timing and recommending the proper tools to make pruning a satisfying method of shaping and enhancing your garden. Organized by plant groupings, such as shrubs, roses, trees, and hedges, the book outlines specific pruning requirements and provides listings of suggested landscaping plants with concise cultural descriptions. Illustrating basic pruning points in an efficient, step-by-step format, Squire supports his recommendations with outstanding illustrations designed to eliminate any cutting anxiety. Carol Haggas
