Top Tips for Using Your Pruners, Shears & Loppers
Choose the Right Tool for the Job
When it comes to pruning, the tool you choose makes all the difference. For smaller, more delicate plants, a bypass pruner offers precision, while for thick branches, a telescopic lopper with a ratchet mechanism gives you the power you need without straining.
Keep Your Tools Sharp
Dull blades make pruning harder and can damage your plants. Regularly sharpen your pruners and loppers with a sharpening stone or tool-specific sharpener to maintain smooth, clean cuts.
Use Proper Technique for Healthier Plants
Always prune at an angle just above a bud or lateral branch to encourage new growth. Avoid cutting too much at once – it’s better to take small amounts off periodically rather than removing large sections.
Safety First!
When using long-handled loppers or pruning shears, make sure you're standing firmly on the ground, and if you're reaching high branches, always use a stable ladder. Also, wear gardening gloves to protect your hands from cuts and blisters.
When to Prune
The best time to prune depends on what you’re cutting. For most flowering plants, prune in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins. Fruit trees should be pruned during their dormant season, while evergreens can be trimmed throughout the year.
Regular Maintenance for Lasting Tools
After each use, clean your pruners and shears to prevent sap buildup and rust. For long-lasting tools, oil the joints and hinges, and store them in a dry place when not in use.
