RHS Pruning Plant by Plant: How to Prune more than 200 Popular Plants
If you've ever stood in the garden holding a pair of secateurs and quietly panicked, this compact reference book might be exactly what you've been missing. Published by DK in association with the RHS, it covers pruning guidance for 180 trees, shrubs, and climbers, with a further 20 popular fruit crops included for good measure. That's a serious breadth of coverage tucked into a genuinely pocketable format. The A-Z layout is a practical touch, letting you find the plant you're after without flipping aimlessly through pages. Clear step-by-step instructions sit alongside diagrams that show, rather than just tell, which makes the whole business of tackling a fruit tree or an unruly climber feel far more approachable. Whether you're a first-time gardener still learning which end of a shrub to cut, or a seasoned allotment holder looking for a reliable quick reference, the book pitches itself usefully to both. Its slim size means it slips into a jacket pocket for easy use outdoors, which is, frankly, where it's most needed. A well-organised, no-fuss guide that earns a permanent spot in the potting shed.
