Perfect Pruning Primer

It covers the basics of pruning - types of cuts, how to do it, what tools to use and when to prune before going into plant specific guidelines and instructions. It also covers the more advanced techniques of espalier pruning. This book is well worth buying if you have pruning questions or want to know how to improve the shape of the trees, plants and shrubs in your yard.

A Good Introduction to Pruning

Although this book doesn't cover the most sophisticated aspects of pruning in detail (like grafting), it will give you a firm grasp of the basics, including when to prune, and how to do it. Various general types of trees are treated, like conifers, deciduous trees, fruits, bushes, etc. Simple yet attractive line drawings fill the book and are very helpful.
