1. Hand, pole and cordless options
Keep a sharp hand secateur on your belt for daily deadheading. Add a cordless pole pruning shear when olives, citrus or tall ornamentals need reach without ladders.
2. Blade type and cutting capacity
Match blade style and max diameter to your plants. Forcing oversized cuts damages tools and stems. Telescopic poles need stable footing on slopes.
3. Batteries, kits and bonsai sets
Dual-battery cordless kits keep cutting through long sessions. Compact bonsai and orchard scissor kits suit detail work on fruit trees and potted plants.
4. Safety and care
Wear eye protection when cutting overhead. Lock blades when climbing down. Clean resin with methylated spirits and store shears out of kids' reach.
