Pruning Tools & Supplies


Pruning tools are essential for maintaining the health and appearance of plants, trees, and shrubs by helping to trim, shape, and remove unwanted growth. Here's an overview of the main types of pruning tools and what each is typically used for:


1. Hand Pruners (Secateurs)
  • Purpose: Hand pruners are used for precise cuts on small branches, stems, and flowers (up to about ¾ inch in diameter).
  • Types:
  • Bypass Pruners: Feature two curved blades that slide past each other, providing a clean cut. Best for live, green growth.
  • Anvil Pruners: Have one straight blade that cuts against a flat surface (anvil). Better for deadwood or dry branches, but may crush softer stems.
  • 2. Loppers
  • Purpose: Designed for larger branches (up to 1-2 inches in diameter), loppers provide more leverage than hand pruners.
  • Types:
  • Bypass Loppers: Good for clean cuts on live branches.
  • Anvil Loppers: More suitable for cutting dead or dry branches.
