By Frederick Keeble

This classic book is a detailed guide to pruning fruit trees, with information on how, why, and when to prune. Written with the novice grower in mind, this easy-to-digest and profusely illustrated guide would make for a fantastic addition to collections of fruit growing literature, and will be of utility to anyone occupied in fruit growing. Contents include: "Water Pruning", "What Pruning Does", "Pruning Practice", "Pruning Young Trees and Bushes", " To Prune or not to Prune at Planting Time", "Shaping Standard, Half-Standard and Bush Tree", "Pruning a Maiden Tree", "Shaping Soft Fruits", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive.
