Book Description

January 1989 0943563089 978-0943563084 First
The aim of this guide is to present results of scientific research on pruning in a way that can be understood easily by all people who care about trees. In this guide I discuss pruning for the desires of man, but also for the health of the trees and their associates. I have tried to make this guide easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to put into practice. I hope you find it that way. I emphasize that this is a guide and not a rule book full of absolutes. Themes are presented . There will always be variations on the themes. And finally, please use great care and caution when pruning. Because information is given does not mean that laymen should attempt all pruning operations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shigo's worldwide photo guide to tree pruning, June 4, 2003

This review is from: Tree Pruning: A Worldwide Photo Guide (Hardcover)
Dr Alex Shigo almost singlehandedly revolutionized the tree-care industry by researching how trees work, and how they deal with injuries (including pruning) and decay. This book uses color photos and clear explanations of how pruning should be done for the most benefit to a tree itself and to the people who share its space, for maximum beauty, safety and serviceability. I used to have a copy of this book, but evidently somebody liked it even better than I did. The copy I'm buying will be my second, and I don't plan to lend it out!
