This essential practical guide aims to take the mystery out of pruning, showing that the correct training and pruning of garden plants has many rewards, including improved flower and fruit production, healthier plants, improved plant shape, and a tidier garden. Beginning with a helpful introduction, which looks at basic principles and techniques, the chapters are arranged by plant type, covering ornamental trees, shrubs, topiary, hedges, climbers and wall shrubs and roses. Each section includes practical advice, illustrated with step-by-step photographic sequences and artworks, on the initial training of the plant; how to prune the plant once it is established; and how to undertake renovation pruning. Further chapters contain clear advice specifically on training and pruning different tree fruits, climbing fruits, and soft fruits. They are beautifully illustrated with step-by-step artworks which show how to train a range of decorative fruit shapes, including bush and standard trees, cordons and stepovers, fans and espaliers. With over 700 photographs and 270 illustrations, many of them step-by-step , this is the only book on the subject that any gardener will ever need.
