[EBOOK] PRUNING AND TRAINING - REVISED NEW EDITION OVER 800 PLANTS (What, when, and how to prune), CHRISTOPHER BRICKELL AND DAVID JOYCE, PUBLISHED BY DK

Understanding how plants grow and appreciating their individual needs and responses to pruning makes it easier to choose the correct pruning and training techniques for each one.

At the simplest level, the purpose of pruning and training is to make sure that plants arc as healthy and vigorous as possible, free of structural weakness, and at the least risk of being infected by disease. The effects of expert pruning, however, go beyond this straightforward aim. With additional knowledge of how pruning and training influences the way in which plants grow and perform, the gardener can not only improve their natural appearance but also enhance ornamental features such as flowers and foliage, increase crops, and create striking plant features and combinations. Understanding the principles of how and why plants respond to pruning is the key to realizing their potential.

“How do you prune it?" is one of the most commonly asked questions about plants. There is often more than one correct answer, because many can be grown and pruned in different ways to produce different effects, while pruning is often a complex subject, for many plants pruning can be kept very simple, since they require little more than the removal of dead, diseased, or damaged wood to keep them in good health.

There are special considerations that will influence the type and degree of the pruning that you undertake. Some people prefer immaculate, formal gardens in which each plant is neatly and symmetrically shaped, while others prefer to allow i Classic lines.

natural, sometimes unexpected growth habits to develop. In some situations, pruning to restrict size may be important—to increase the range of plants that can be grown in a limited space, or under glass, for example.

In most cases, however, the aim is simply to ensure a healthy, soundly structured, and pleasingly shaped plant. Remember that sound early training lays firm foundations for a fine mature specimen, and that, at any stage in its life, pruning causes some stress to a plant, so it should never be done without good reason. If you choose the right plant for the right situation and desired effect, much unnecessary corrective pruning can be avoided.
