 Written By A Pro May 10, 2003
By Charles Laird
This 178 page book is one of the best I have seen so far. It is published by a web based educational company that has a broad educational scope. It is slightly textbookish but not at all difficult for anyone who is serious about having more than a magazine article knowledge about pruning. Pruning is presented as a horticultural science not as someone's idea of what might be best. The book is well organized and about as comprehensive as a 178 page book could be. It is a serious little book. For example, on page 61 there are 24 tree drawings showing different limb configurations and the required pruning cuts to develop a dominant leader. You can learn a lot from that one page.

Just what we needed Mar 31, 2007
By B. Martinek
This book was just what we needed to be able to show our nursery employees the PROPER way (not just they way they thought it shoud be done) to prune our newly planted trees. The illustrations really help, also. I am going to make this text part of our orientation process for new hires.

 An Illustrated Guide to Pruning Mar 02, 2008
By Eric Larusson Villager Nursery, Inc.
"Mountain Gardener"
This is a good TEXT book. Very Good.
I cut off the spine, punched holes in it and put it in a binder because it is a TEXT / Workbook. It is also a terribly expensive paperback book for those of us working in the trades and not IN higher education or funded research.

terrific pruning manual Feb 15, 2007
By CK
This book seems to be written as a classroom instruction manual. As such, it is very comprehensive. I've got several pruning books, but this one is by far the best at providing instruction you can really go out and implement in your yard.

Pleased on Pruning Jan 11, 2007
By Jack D. Rokos
i am very pleased to have purchased "An Illustrated Guide To Pruning". The book was written with very descriptive language that easily explains the correct way, time and type of pruning to perform. The text also explains common incorrect pruning methods which i found to be very beneficial. Equally as helpful are the countless drawings and actual photographs of pruning done correctly and incorrectly. Lastly, the end of chapter quizzes are an excellent idea and are easily used as quick refreshers.
