About this title

Synopsis

A basic guide to pruning for the home gardener. Professional horticulturist Rodger Elliot believes that, when it comes to pruning, most of us fall into three distinct categories: the hackers, the snippers or the complete novice. This commonsense handbook provides clear direction and step-by-step illustrations designed to give the gardener confidence in pruning for improved plant health. Information is provided on pruning over 1000 different plant types, timing of pruning efforts and utilising best techniques.

About the Author

Rodger Elliot began propagating plants commercially in the early 1960's. Rodger is now involved in consultative projects, including export of Australian plants. He is the author of a number of horticultural and botanical books and is a contributor to Australian and overseas horticultural publications. In 1992 he received the Australian Institute of Horticulture's Award of Excellence for Outstanding Contribution to Horticulture and then in 1995 he was awarded the Australian Natural History Medallion.
