An experienced gardener once commented that there are two things that a plant must respond to-fertilizer and pruning. You'll find all the basics about pruning well-presented in The Pruning Book by Dr. Lee Reich, including why to prune, tools to use, how a plant responds to pruning, and pruning methods for plants broken down by ornamental, edible, deciduous, evergreen, trees, shrubs, vines, houseplants, and perennials. There's a section on specialized pruning techniques, plus color photographs, line drawings, plants lists, and a glossary of pruning terms. 240 pages. Softcover.

"With its straightforward prose and diagrams, The Pruning Book is a good antidote to 'pruning panic', an affliction known to experienced and novice gardeners alike." -Country Living Gardener
