Description
This book is aimed primarily at enthusiastic amateur gardeners, who should find the text easy to follow, but it should also be of interest to horticultural students and professional gardeners / nurserymen. All of the major groups of plants which need pruning are covered, both outdoors and under glass - trees, shrubs, hedges, topiary specimens, climbers, roses and fruit trees and bushes. All pruning techniques are illustrated with line drawings often on a step-by-step basis.
