5.0 out of 5 stars Written By A Pro, May 9, 2003
By Charles Laird (Kerrville, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Illustrated Guide to Pruning (Paperback)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what we needed, March 31, 2007
This review is from: Illustrated Guide to Pruning (Paperback)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars terrific pruning manual, February 15, 2007
By CK (Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Illustrated Guide to Pruning (Paperback)
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.
