Eyewitness Garden Handbooks: Pruning and Training:
The Eyewitness Garden Handbooks: Pruning and Training was such a tremendous help to me in developing the beautiful garden I had always wanted. It was able to walk me through the difficult process of espalier techniques that had always been so difficult to grasp from the other books I had read for this involved procedure. The beautiful pictures and easy to understand language made this a book I will use year after year! I would recommend it to everyone!

Not so good.:
Didn't find this book very helpful. It's my first pruning book and I hope others are better. It was more of an overview than a 'how to, when to' guide. Even the specific plants it mentions only get a few sentences each.

Love this book:
I love this book. When I saw my sisters book I knew that I had to have one of my own. I'm looking forward to using the techniques for my future pruning. Thanks for a great book.
