Reviews for The Pruning Book
Reviews of the previous edition: With its straightforward prose and diagram, The Pruning Book is a good antidote to 'pruning panic', an affliction known to experienced and novice gardeners alike. Country Living Gardener Reich does a super job of simplifying what can be a confusing topic. . .Lots of pictures and sketches help immensely...At last someone has laid out the ground rules to decipher the mess once and for all.
Sunday Patriot-News A more detailed approach and covers a wide variety of plants. . . Of particular value are the explanations of timing and techniques for pruning deciduous ornamental bushes.
Detroit News and Free Press The author is an accomplished horticulturist and garden writer, and he melds these two talents to achieve a book that is both informative and easy to read...This book should be in the library of all serious gardeners and landscape maintainers.
