Prune trees, shrubs, and other plants with the knowledge that promotes healthy and aesthetic growth. Covering 160 plants, this guide offers clear instructions and illustrations to help you prune effectively. The 3rd Edition includes over twenty additional plants across three new chapters, making it a definitive resource for home gardeners. With friendly, expert advice from Cass Turnbull, founder of Seattle's PlantAmnesty, the mission is to end the harmful practices of mal-pruning. To prevent mal-pruning and other gardening mistakes, follow these ten commandments: 1. Do not shear your bush. 2. Do not top your tree. 3. Do not plant sun-loving plants in the shade or shade-loving plants in the sun. 4. Always mulch. 5. Do not leave stubs. 6. Avoid flush cuts and do not paint wounds. 7. Do not cover the base of your plants with mulch, soil, or landscape material. 8. Cut circling or girdling roots. 9. Do not compact the root zone or trench near the trunk. 10. Do not weed-whip, bash the trunk with mowers, or leave anything tied to the tree or its branches.
