Designed for home gardeners, this guide offers clear, step-by-step instructions on pruning a wide variety of plants, including groundcovers, climbers, shrubs, trees, and fruiting plants. Elliot categorizes gardeners into three types—“hackers,” “snippers,” and novices—and provides tailored advice to help each group improve their pruning skills. The book includes an alphabetical chart covering over 900 plant species, detailing the appropriate pruning techniques and timing for each, and even notes which plants require no pruning at all. Includes root pruning, rejuvenation and tree surgery.
