Product Description

Product Description
A practical handbook giving step-by-step explanations to the correct pruning and training of ornamental trees, climbing plants, tree fruits, shrubs and roses. The 800 plants are grouped and listed alphabetically with information of general pruning principles for each group and the growth habits and particular needs of individual plants. Illustrations show you exactly where and how to make pruning cuts to bring the best out of garden plants. Coppicing, topiary, pleaching and pinch pruning are just some of the more unusual pruning and training techniques that feature alongside explained traditional practices.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book for training pruners, 15 May 2007

By	Peter - See all my reviews

This review is from: RHS Pruning and Training (Paperback)

As a novice, I've found thi great for letting me in on secrets that it must take years to learn. How to train a climbing rose, to correct a lopsided tree, to stop shrubs getting out of hand to get the most fruit off trees and bushes. I wouldn't have known where to start without it.
I think it's worth spending the extra on this, the more complete version, as it has tips on specific species and even varieties: redcurrant, wisteria, acid cherry, magnolia etc etc etc

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - well worth investing in, 3 Feb 2002

By	Gladyswink "Gladyswink" (UK) - See all my reviews

This book is fantastic, I am now purchasing a second copy because my Mother always seems to have mine!
It doesn't matter whether you're a seasoned gardener or a novice; this book is clear, informative, and not at all patronising.
It lists prunig & training techniques for a variety of plants and trees, including some unusual speciemins from much warmer climates than good old blighty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference book with easy to follow diagrams, 26 Nov 2000

By A Customer

Everything you need to know about pruning all types of plants. The diagrams are easy to follow and the text is clear, unlike any other book on the subject that I have found.
