Woah! This book was a game-changer for me. The clear pruning diagrams and safety guidelines helped me refine my approach. Well, also I was able to avoid dangerous mistakes. It is the best.
Finally, a guide that covers not just techniques but the WHY behind them. The safety sections alone are mind blowing. However, I will say that the detailed pruning strategies made me rethink my methods. Highly recommended for all the professionals in the field…
As a supervisor, I made this required reading for my crew. The emergency response planning and recordkeeping sections really helped us all improve efficiency. Incredibly practical and well-written for sure!
