Tree Pruning
 

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.

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.

Uhhh, why would a "consulting arborist", as your signature identifies
you, ask such a question?

Obviously he is in dire need of learning how to prune.

Beware a so called tree biologist (consulting arborist) who has never
studied biology (or tree pruning).

Seems like a simple example of education beyond capacity. Many people in
many fields can discuss the principles of their field at a professorial
level. But give them a tool and they go blank.

Three kind of people in the world. Thinkers, talkers, and doers.

You must've been told that often because obviously you're right in the
middle.
