Pruning is essential to keeping trees, shrubs, and other plants
healthy and beautiful. Not only does pruning keep plants from
getting unwieldy and large, it also allows light and air to reach
more branches, encourages fruit and blossom growth, removes
diseased branches, and adds structural strength to plants. But many
homeowners and gardeners feel overwhelmed by pruning. When is the
right time to prune? How much should be removed? What's the
difference between pinching and heading back? What tools should be
used? How can a homeowner ensure that pruning ultimately enhances
-- and doesn't harm -- the plant?
For all these questions and more, "The Pruning Answer Book" has the
answer. Written by two highly respected garden writers with years
of experience in providing pruning advice, this book is sure to
become a tool as essential as the pruning shears themselves. With
clear, concise advice, a browsable format, a friendly tone, and
how-to illustrations, the book provides everything a homeowner
needs to safely achieve attractive, long-lasting, and healthy
plants.
The latest in Storey's enormously popular Answer Book series, "The
Pruning Answer Book" demystifies the subject, helping even novices
successfully prune a variety of woody plants -- flowering trees,
fruit and nut trees, shrubs, brambles, evergreens, vines, and
groundcovers. Homeowners will feel as if they have a master
arborist by their side, helping them bring out the best in their
greenery.
