A comprehensive pruning guide for every gardener, from beginner to advanced, based on the latest horticultural research. Lee Reich removes the fear of pruning by showing step-by-step techniques that you can use for virtually every plant you'll meet, from trees to tropicals.

Reich debunks many current pruning myths. In three well-illustrated sections, he takes you through the basics of pruning plants, showing exactly how, when, and where to apply shears, loppers, and saws. He also explains advanced and specialized techniques such as espalier, pleaching, topiary, and bonsai.
