About The Book

In order to be a successful gardener you have to know how to prune -whether to improve growth, increase fruiting qualities or to enable the plant to grow in space-restricted areas or cold environments.

Included is detailed advice on renovating neglected plants, from shrubs and climbers to fruit trees and bushes. There is also a fun element, with instructions for creating topiary in the garden
