The pruning shears stay away from be delayed on a row of wooden pegs near my back door, loppers hang on pegs in the garage and handsaws fill a five-gallon pail. All the big-name brands are represented, from ARS to Bahco to Corona to Felco to Fiskars to Silky. With many models of each kind of tool at my fingertips, it’s easy to tell which ones I like the to the fullest extent: They are the ones for which I reach most frequently.

With the coldest part of winter behind us (and even that not very cold), it was convenience life for me to start pruning. Today’s sunny weather and temperatures in the 40s made pruning an enjoyable indulgence to be outdoors. Into my leather holster went a pair of ARS hand-pruning shears.
