Smith and Hawken Hands-on Gardener Pruning by Robert Kourik
This trim-size gardening book attempts to demystify the art of pruning trees and shrubs. There are two parts: part one covers the fundamentals of how trees and shrubs grow; and part two covers the art of pruning and shaping, with step-by-step illustrations.Robert Kourik installed his first edible landscape in 1978, and is the author of Drip Irrigation, Understanding Roots, Designing and Maintaining Your Edible Landscape, and Lazy-Ass Gardening
In the course of his 40-plus years of first-hand experience in sustainable horticulture, he's received many accolades. Sunset magazine described Robert's Drip Irrigation book as The last word on drip irrigation and infused with good humor. Paul Hawken extols his work as uncommonly valuable. Rosalind Creasy calls Robert's books encyclopedic. All of Robert's work and writings were oriented towards sustainability long before the term became popular.
Robert's books, articles, and essays have covered organic, natural, sustainable and integrated systems; permaculture; water conservation and drip irrigation; environmentally sound homes; and edible landscaping. His articles have appeared in national publications such as The New York Times, Garden Design Magazine, Landscape Architecture, National Gardening, Fine Gardening, Horticulture Magazine and Mother Earth News.
