Synopsis :

This is the ultimate practical guide to pruning and training ornamental and decorative plants of all types - trees, shrubs, climbers and much more. All techniques are shown in close-up step-by-step photographs and diagrams, making the tasks absolutely clear and easy to follow. This book contains an invaluable directory that describes the timing, frequency and method of pruning for a range of ornamental plants. Simple practical advice is shown clearly for the beginner, and more specialist expert techniques for the advanced and experienced gardener and professionals getting deeper into the subject. This essential practical guide aims to take the mystery out of pruning. Each chapter includes practical advice, illustrated with step-by-step photographic sequences and artworks, on the initial training of the plant; how to prune; and how to undertake renovation pruning. An invaluable directory then looks at a wide range of ornamental plants and explains the timing, frequency and method of pruning for each species. With over 600 photographs and specially commissioned artworks, many of them step-by-step, this is the only books on pruning ornamental plants that any gardener will ever need.
