Ok, here is an informative book on pruning. It is a worldwide pruning
guide. It shows great dissections of pruning cuts, it is lucid or is
presented with lucidity.

as far as treating the system, here is another lucid or presented with
lucidity, book. It is printed in many languages.

If you can't afford it, go to a library.

It will help you answer many of your own questions.

Its not my work. Don't believe anything because I say it, believe it
because you see it for your self.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.

Does anyone know of a good book on pruning? If so, please explain why you
think the book you suggest is a good one for someone interested in proper
pruning of a tree or other woody plant.
