Carpender, National Gardener , March 2004, Like any good textbook, Kirkham's revision of Brown's 1972 text on pruning is one the student will keep and refer to repeatedly as an easy to use reference., First published in 1972 and now thoroughly revised and substantially expanded, this classic work continues to be trusted and respected as an essential guide to pruning, incorporating major advances in the science of arboriculture., This is a very useful book, especially during this season when many trees and shrubs do need pruning., George E. Brown's classic 1972 work has been extensively revised and updated by Kew expert Tony Kirkham, who describes fundamental changes in approach, such as "target" pruning, withholding wound sealant and pruning in ways that combat pests and diseases., The authors explain the basic principles of pruning and offer insights into why we cut trees and how to care for them, and handle specific situations such as lightning strikes, wind, cavities and wounds, crown reduction, training and other general pruning topics., This new edition has been spruced up with color photographs, and it contains a good bit of current advice on the science of aboriculture. [It is] a fascinating and informative survey of the symbiotic relationship between the plants nature has but on the earth and the methods humans have developed to enhance and maintain many of these plants., Kirkham's revision is one the student will keep and refer to repeatedly as an easy to use reference. Well organized and lavishly illustrated., Good pruning is known both as an art and a science, and this book helps the gardener accomplish both.
