Product Description

Product Description
This guide to pruning and training contains, in just one volume, the information gardeners need to maintain attractive, well-pruned and trained trees, shrubs, climbers, roses and fruit. 800 ornamental plants and fruits are covered. The different plant groups are covered in separate chapters, each beginning with a clear introduction explaining the general principles. Colour illustrations with step-by-step instructions are included for exemplary genera to illustrate standard pruning techniques and methods of special training. There follows an extensive A-Z of genera and species, containing detailed information about the particular needs of each plant. To explain the more unusual or difficult techniques, special "feature" pages - on such topics as topiary, hedging, bonsai, pleaching and pinch pruning are interspersed throughout the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have reference book for every gardener, 18 Mar 2002
By AnnPan (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Clearly laid-out, and simple to follow, this book will guide you through the steps necessary to keeping your shrubs, trees and climbers in good shape. General rules and principles are given, followed by listings of individual plants with clear instructions for each. Inset boxes help you to determine which member of a group such as clematis you are trying to prune, and therefore when and how to do so. It is full of invaluable advice, and the diagrams are incredibly helpful. It is nearly as good as having an expert show you in person! If you are at all serious about your garden, don't be without this marvellous book.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books around on garden shrubs and trees., 30 April 2000
By A Customer
Among the multitude of gardening books around, this manual stands out as a gem. Easy-to-use, yet comprehensive information on growing garden shrubs and trees successfully, from planting through to yearly 'maintenance' or renovation. I was especially impressed by the way the book provides specific plant-by-plant information. If you only ever want to have ONE book to help you look after your garden, try this!

5.0 out of 5 stars Borrowed it from the library and now want to own it!, 19 Jan 1999
By A Customer
Excellent book with clear diagrams, non-technical terminology and beautiful, inspiring pictures. Equally applicable to Australian gardens as UK gardens.
