Book Reviews of Cass Turnbull's Guide to Pruning: What, When, and Where and How to Prune for a More Beautiful Garden

Book Review: Poor pruning book
Summary: 2 Stars

I have numerous gardening books and thought that this may be a good addition to my library. Unfortunately, not so. It is poorly written, in a very "folksy" way, and I doubt some of the advice given for particular plants. Plant coverage is limited to the more common varieties. Lastly, it is not in color and there are only sketches, no actual photos.

Save your money and don't buy this book. If you really want a good pruning book, buy The American Horitcultural Society "Pruning and Training". It is well organized, great pictures and sketches demonstating what to do, expert instruction, etc.

Summary of Cass Turnbull's Guide to Pruning: What, When, and Where and How to Prune for a More Beautiful Garden

Nothing about pruning is obvious; in fact, most of it is downright counterintuitive, says expert Cass Turnbull. This second edition of her definitive illustrated guide adds 40 percent new material, with more coverage of different kinds of trees, shrubs, and ground covers and how to prune them for health and aesthetics. The book is organized around the most common types of plants found in Northwest gardens: evergreen and deciduous shrubs; bamboos and tea roses; rhododendrons, camellia and other tree-like shrubs; hedge plants like boxwood and heather; clematis, wisteria and all those vines; and detailed information on trees by species from dogwoods to weeping cherries. In her trademark witty style, Turnbull also addresses tools, landscape renovation, and design errors. Included too are her amusing Ten Commandments for gardeners, which feature such treasures as "Thou shalt not weed-whip the trunk of thy tree, nor bash it with thine mower, nor leave anything tied on thy tree or the branches of thy tree, as is done in the land of the philistines."
