{"product_id":"9781604691146","title":"The Art of Creative Pruning: Inventive Ideas for Training and Shaping Trees and Shrubs","description":"\u003cp\u003eNothing brings a touch of artistry to the garden like ornamental pruning, and a series of deliberate cuts can create landscapes and evoke faraway places. All that's needed to recreate the effect in the garden are a sharp pair of pruners, some imagination, and the instruction found in \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Creative Pruning\u003c\/i\u003e. Drawing on both eastern and western styles, author Jake Hobson moves beyond the traditional lollipops and animals and teaches a wholly new approach to ornamental pruning that appeals to modern sensibilities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePicture boxwoods trimmed into whimsical Russian nesting dolls, hedges inscribed with words, and a tree snipped to resemble the toppling tiers of a wedding cake. These are just a few of the unusual ideas featured in the beautifully photographed pages. All the practical considerations are here as well, including pruning to improve a view, remedial pruning to fix problems, and pruning fruit trees to increase yield.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Timber Press, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050849943792,"sku":"9781604691146","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781604691146_p0.jpg?v=1763828595","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781604691146","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
