    Pruning is essential to keeping trees, shrubs, and other plants healthy and beautiful. Not only does pruning keep plants from getting unwieldy and large, it also allows light and air to reach more branches, encourages fruit and blossom growth, removes diseased branches, and adds structural strength to plants. But many homeowners and gardeners feel overwhelmed by pruning. When is the right time to prune? How much should be removed? What’s the difference between pinching and heading back? What tools should be used? How can a homeowner ensure that pruning ultimately enhances — and doesn’t harm — the plant? For all these questions and more, The Pruning Answer Book has the answer. Written by two highly respected garden writers with years of experience in providing pruning advice, this book is sure to become a tool as essential as the pruning shears themselves. With clear, concise advice, a browsable format, a friendly tone, and how-to illustrations, the book provides everything a homeowner needs to safely achieve attractive, long-lasting, and healthy plants. The latest in Storey’s enormously popular Answer Book series, The Pruning Answer Book demystifies the subject, helping even novices successfully prune a variety of woody plants — flowering trees, fruit and nut trees, shrubs, brambles, evergreens, vines, and groundcovers. Homeowners will feel as if they have a master arborist by their side, helping them bring out the best in their greenery. The Authors: The late Lewis Hill gardened for more than 55 years in northern Vermont on the farm where his family had lived for 200 years. He was a prolific and beloved gardening author; his 15 titles (many written in collaboration with his wife, Nancy Hill) have more than 600,000 copies in print. Penelope O’Sullivan is the author of The Homeowner’s Complete Tree and Shrub Handbook and many other gardening and home landscaping books. She writes for a variety of magazines, including Country Home, Traditional Home, and Better Homes and Gardens. She lives with her family near the New Hampshire seacoast, where she runs a garden design firm. Available in February, 2011 ISBN: 978-1-60342-710-4
