The Compendium of Pruning Fruit Trees - Selected ArticlesPaperback, 1 March 2011

This book is a collection of vintage articles on the subject of pruning fruit trees, with information on tools and equipment, techniques, benefits, problems, and many other related aspects. Easy-to-digest and profusely illustrated, these articles are highly recommended for novice fruit growers, and would make for valuable additions to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Guide to Pruning for the Beginner", "Pruning Dwarf Fruit Trees", "Methods of Pruning", "Pruning, What it Means and Does", "Pruning Young Fruit Trees in Arid Regions", "Pruning Mature Fruit Trees in Arid Regions", "Pruning of Deciduous Trees", "Pruning, Ringing and Thinning", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive.
