Fearless Pruning Lee Reich

Fearless Pruning: A slide lecture to take the mystery out of pruning, so that lilacs, roses all trees and shrubs, in fact can be pruned to look their best and be in vibrant health. After going over the many benefits of pruning, we'll take a look at the tools for the job and then most important discuss how plants respond to various types of pruning cuts. After that, we enter the "real world" with the how, why, and when of pruning various groups of plants.
