All kinds of garden plants – shrubs, climbers, roses, hedges and trees – need pruning to improve their shape and condition, and to encourage more flowers and fruits. Whether you are starting a new garden, maintaining established plants or renovating a neglected garden, this essential guide to pruning will come to your assistance time and again.

David Squire studied botany and gardening at the Hertfordshire College of Agriculture and the Royal Horticultural Society’s Garden at Wisley, Surrey. His interests include native (indigenous) plants and their uses, bee-keeping and dogs. During his extensive gardening and journalistic careers, David has written over 80 books. Local consultant, Allan Haschick, worked in the retail gardening industry for over 20 years before starting his own landscape design company in 2016. Allan has been a contributing writer for SA Garden since 1999 and is a member of their reader advice panel. He has also written gardening columns for the Eastern Cape Herald and Algoa Sun newspapers, and gives talks and demonstrations to garden clubs throughout the Eastern Cape. His first book, Coastal Gardening in South Africa, was published by Struik Lifestyle in 2013.
