| Summary |
Pruning is one of the most important and least understood horticultural skills. Knowledge of proper technique and the needs of individual plants makes it possible to develop a strong framework and correct awkward, dangerous, or unattractive growth. Pruning can also help maintain or improve flower display and fruit production and ensure that your trees and shrubs will look their best year-round. Whatever your goal, Essential Pruning Techniques provides detailed descriptions of what to do - accompanied by step-by-step photos - and specific instructions for nearly 400 woody plants. Clear, comprehensive, and authoritative, this is a must-have volume for your garden library.--COVER. |
