Evening all.. been looking for some reading material to educate myself on tree health care and pruning

 

these will be my first books on the subject so was looking for something i have a chance of understanding,:confused1:

 

any recommendations ?

 

SNAP!!

 

I keep being asked if I can just chop a branch off, I say no because I don't want to do more harm than good.

I usually give them a tree surgeon's number, but I know from the look on their faces that they won't ring him. It will be a neighbour or someone who does a botch job.

Is there a beginners book that explains how to shape a tree that is getting too big for a garden?

Thanks.

The book arrived yesterday (An Illustrated Guide to Pruning By Edward F. Gilman) :thumbup1:

I have only had a quick look through it, but it seems easy to understand and is packed with info and really clear pictures and diagrams.

If any newbies are looking for an easy to read book I can recommend this one as a good place to start.
