New Pruning Equipment For Your Trees

By Robert Olson


It is best to acquire the best tools you can afford. The better tool will get the job done more adequately requiring less effort on your part. To ensure your tools keep doing their job, keep them in good condition, clean and stored in a dry shed. Of course, it is important to clean your tools in order to keep them in good condition so they last longer. But more importantly, your tools also should be kept clean to help prevent tree diseases from spreading by using Pruning Equipment that are infected.

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.

They main thing to remember about garden equipment is we may want it, but we don't always need it. As gardeners, if we have the basic gardening tools, we should be able to make do just fine. Even though we may be tempted to rush out and purchase the newest and greatest revolutions to the gardening world, however, it is not necessary to make these purchases in order to make your garden look great. In most cases, improvisation does work.

The Folding Pruner can be attached to any universal extension pole for the tasks which involve a long reach. Conveniently, this trimming saw folds up while not in use for safety reasons. It is lightweight yet robust. Lastly on this list of new tools is the Portable Buck Saw that is extremely lightweight and collapsible too, making it a perfect gift for the homeowner, gardener and camper. Each of the tools mentioned above will serve their purpose well.

Trimming back dormant buds, during the winter season, focuses a plant's energy onto that bud as well as perhaps one or two other nearby ones when growing season resumes. This is a good way to direct blooming energy into the canes you want to bloom heavily. I find trimming dormant buds a bit trickier, and my wife does most of this.

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.
