New Pruning Equipment For Your Trees

By Robert Olson


Gardening can involve lots of pruning. Instead of just grabbing whatever remotely appropriate tool it helps to know, as well to own, the right tool. It is worth buying good pruning tools, even for the casual gardener, and certainly for the serious one. Here are the main Pruning Equipment I use.

A trimming saw - I love my trimming saw, a gift from my wife. It gets the least use among my trimming tools but is the right tool for older and thicker branches as well as most dead branches. It folds for storage and transport, and the blade is safely covered when it's folded.

Always make sure to they are dry before putting them away to detour rust from developing. Finally, if you're not skilled in the use of tools like chain saws, especially, always put safety first and hire a local tree service professional.

Hedge clippers - very useful for when for edges such as flower borders and hedges, these are long bladed scissor like pruners. A Sharpener of some type - either a file or a sharpening stone is essential. Sharp blades work better and are far less likely to injure a plant, just like a sharp knife is less likely to squish a tomato.

If you have these basic pieces of equipment, you are good to go. However, if you have bushes, hedges, or vine style ground cover, a good pair of pruning scissors could prove extremely helpful. While only the basic gardening equipment is necessary, some garden equipment can make the hard work of gardening much easier. If you have been gardening for years, chances are you have accumulated so much garden equipment that your shed is overflowing with it and which can come in handy anytime.

Bonsai plants need much more than just water and sunlight. The list of bonsai tools and tools required to maintain these miniatures may be long and complex, and for a person venturing into this kind of hobby for the first time it may seem quite awesome. Some of the tools used for bonsai gardening include the trimming shears or pruning shears which will be utilized to keep the roots and branches of the plants trimmed regularly.

A product called EZ-Cut will loosen trimming tool dirt without the use of abrasion. EZ-Cut is a non-toxic / non-flammable fluid that is sprayed on trimming tool blades, and it prevents rust. EZ-Cut contains a vegetable oil lubricant to maintain smooth operation of trimming tools.

When a diseased plant is cut with a pruner, the fungus or bacteria from the disease can deposit on the pruner and spread the disease to healthy plants when they're pruned. EZ-Cut contains a disinfectant that will kill fungus or bacteria that cause plant disease cross contamination with the use of trimming tools. EZ-Cut even has a pleasant smelling lemon odor that drives away flies and mosquitoes. Remember to use restraint when trimming your newly planted trees. Prune only to remove damaged, broken, or diseased branches. A good rule of thumb is to prune as little as possible.
