This book does not give you a detailed drawing of how to prune fruit trees , the drawings are very small and not clear. The book is also out of date when it comes to the best time to prune plum trees, it says prune in winter , but to avoid deseases they should be prune in July. R. Sanford Martin Ausser dem sonst kaum irgendwo beschriebenen Wurzelschnitt (Förderung des Verständnisses der Baumphysiologie), habe ich in diesem Buch so ziemlich keine brauchbare Anleitung gefunden. Es gibt heute sehr viel bessere Bücher zum Thema Erwerbsobstbau und Obstbaumschnitt. Die dort beherzigten Schnitt Regeln sind einheitlich für beinahe alle Obstarten unserer Gefilde erfolgreich anwendbar. Interesting historical repro but not a good pruning guide for the 21st Century. Some techniques would be considered rather old fashioned, now that a bit is understood about the behaviour of plant growth hormones, etc. Note that this book is directed at the US market. Some of the advice, such as pruning stone fruits when dormant, is definitely not applicable to the UK.
