Book recommendation?

[chiseltooth]

Hi,can anyone recommend a good all round book on pruning? Something that would cover specific techniques for different trees, the effects of light,hard or incorrect pruning and which trees recover well or thrive on regular pruning, which trees are best not to prune etc? cheers

"The pruning of trees, shrubs and conifers", by George Brown/ Tony Kirkham, covers all the above and more, a great book.
