5.0 out of 5 stars Eyewitness Garden Handbooks: Pruning and Training, April 21, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Pruning and Training (Eyewitness Garden Handbooks) (Paperback)
The Eyewitness Garden Handbooks: Pruning and Training was such a tremendous help to me in developing the beautiful garden I had always wanted. It was able to walk me through the difficult process of espalier techniques that had always been so difficult to grasp from the other books I had read for this involved procedure. The beautiful pictures and easy to understand language made this a book I will use year after year! I would recommend it to everyone!

This review is from: Pruning and Training (Eyewitness Garden Handbooks) (Paperback)
Didn't find this book very helpful. It's my first pruning book and I hope others are better. It was more of an overview than a 'how to, when to' guide. Even the specific plants it mentions only get a few sentences each.

Great book to have on hand for reference. Simple and to the point instructions. I needed some pointers on apple espalier and General pruning & this book had it all.
