Important techniques, which here get a thorough treatment. Ever been confused by the many ways to prune a clematis? Look here. Very helpful with regards to choosing the most appropriate tools for this task.

Haven’t read the whole book, but read enough to decide that I definitely want to own it for myself. Beautiful diagrams, clear organization, packed with good information.
