Tree pruner

Tree pruner is very effective for pruning overhead branches up to about 2.5 cm thick. This pruning tool comprises one curved, sharp-edged, movable blade attached to the top of a long wooden handle, and the other blade which is blunt and hooked gives support to the branches. The sharp blade is operated from below with the help of a long, thick metal wire. Tree pruner can also be used for pruning dead and diseased branches, withered flower spikes and also for collecting fruits that are difficult to reach.
