In Simonit’s own words, “In this book, you’ll find a complete picture of what happens inside a plant as a consequence of pruning wounds”. You will also find a comprehensive methodology on how to establish and prune vines to avoid such consequences. In short, this is an essential volume for any vineyard owner, viticulturalist, pruner, or simply anyone interested in the science and best practice of pruning.
