A book for training pruners
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
Excellent - well worth investing in
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.
Excellent reference book with easy to follow diagrams
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.
