Every day, more and more people are getting involved in gardening. Though gardening can be fun, it also comes with a lot of responsibility – especially with taking care of your plants health and overall well-being. One way to make sure your greens will stay alive and healthy is to prune them.
Pruning is not just for professional gardeners and landscapers. All gardeners, even beginners, are encouraged to prune their plants to maintain its health. It is not an easy task – but you can make it easier and more effortless if you find the right tools to make it less tedious.
To help you choose the right pruning shears that work best with your needs and demands, here are some of the most commonly used type of tools for pruning:
Bypass pruning shears are best used on live wood. They work just like scissors where the blades pass through each other. These pruners are known for giving clean cuts and being easy to use and convenient for gardeners.
Anvil pruning shears are commonly used on damaged and dead branches. The blades are located on one side, and an anvil on the other. Like how a knife cuts on a chopping board, it has a tendency to crush hard – that is why it is not advisable to use these pruners on live wood.
Anvil Ratchet pruning shears look like anvil pruners with one blade on one side and a flat one on the other. This tool helps people prune in steps which makes it easier to cut through thicker branches.
One of the most important components of a pruner is its blades. Different manufacturers use different types of blades for their pruners – stainless, forged, or high carbon steel. The durability, hardness, sharpness, and resistance vary on each one.
No matter the blade quality, it will most probably lose its effectiveness after using it for a long time. With high quality blades, a simple sharpening can bring it back to its peak performance. Low quality blades, on the other hand, can be deformed over time. When this happens, you will not be able to produce clean, sharp cuts and can even cause damage to your plants.
Titanium coated blades provide balance in terms of sharpness, durability and anti-corrosion. The titanium coating strengthens the blade, reduces friction while cutting and prevents it from corrosion. Thus, providing a longer lifespan of the pruning shears.
Haus & Garten pruners use high-quality blades which are treated using a proprietary titanium coating system that not only prevents them from rust but also allows the gardener to use the pruners at its maximum capacity. This technology increases the resistance of the cutting edge which prolongs the blades lifespan - making it worth the purchase.
Choosing the right tool depends on what kind of plants you are planning to prune.
When cutting branches, a pruner with at least 1 inch cutting capacity is suitable for most tasks. This tool is suitable for trimming branches on fruit trees, keeping perennial flowers neat, pruning long branches out of shrubs and other smaller branches.
Pruning can be very tiring – especially when you're doing it for long periods of time. Whether you're performing this activity on a day-to-day basis or longer hours, having a pair of scissors that make you exert less effort is the goal. This helps you have a comfortable pruning experience. Using models that are ergonomically designed, lightweight, and grip-friendly can provide more comfort and support to your hands when pruning.
