“For branches too large to be cut with a hand pruner or lopping shears, pruning saws must be used.”

“Sharpen pruner blades by swiping them over the whetstone in a curved motion, trying to maintain their original bevel.”

“One example might be a pruner who has gained expertise while working in the sector.”

“The simplest thing to do is dig a small pit and pile in all your scraps, mowings and prunings.”

“This striking arrangement is made with prunings from cotoneaster, deodar cedar, and juniper.”

“Overlap Christmas tree boughs and evergreen prunings atop beds to protect newly planted and tender perennials and bulbs.”

“I like bucksaws better than pruners since for me they seem to cut faster than anything but a real chain saw.”

“Using sharp pruners, cut the stems cleanly where they meet larger branches.”

“If you just want to thin the growth, you can remove branches using your pruners or loppers by cutting the branch back to a fork.”
