Art of Creative Pruning: Inventive Ideas for Training and Shaping Trees and Shrubs Hardcover – 25 October 2011

If you're an older gardener approaching retirement, this shows what can be accomplished in a few years, and some worthwhile projects you can start to but your "stamp' on your gardens. If you have some fast growing trees, for example, such as Sycamores, Persimmons, hollies--you can achieve something in just a few years. Pines take longer on the Japanese designs--and it takes some courage to make these drastic prunings--but this book shows how to do it.

Regalato ad un giardiniere con la passione per il suo lavoro e con la voglia di reinventarsi, questo libro è stato parecchio apprezzato.

Beautifully presented in easy to follow text, engaging format to encourage more diverse ideas in topiary shapes.

Ich habe zum ersten mal den Garten und wollte etwas über Baumschneiden lernen Buch hat viele schone Fotos aber nicht viel Informationen wie soll man die Bäume behandeln. Eher für fortgeschrittene im Gartenkunst, obwohl wirklich viel Information allgemein Mehr über Baumschnitt kann man in zweites Buch von Jacke Hobson finden

finally a book that tells you something and gives you great ideas. While somewhat of a how to, its more a "how to look at opportunities" kind of book. I liked the balance, I liked the tools suggestions. I'm very pleased I bought this book.
