  A practical handbook giving step-by-step explanations to the correct pruning and training of ornamental trees, climbing plants, tree fruits, shrubs and roses. The 800 plants are grouped and listed alphabetically with information of general pruning principles for each group and the growth habits and particular needs of individual plants. Illustrations show you exactly where and how to make pruning cuts to bring the best out of garden plants. Coppicing, topiary, pleaching and pinch pruning are just some of the more unusual pruning and training techniques that feature alongside explained traditional practices.
