However good is your choice of bypass pruner, there will be a time when it will get worn out because of all the pruning you did. The best pruners have aluminum handles, usually with a coating of a rubbery cushioned material to provide better grip and cut down on hand fatigue. However, less costly pruners, as well as gardening snips, often have plastic handles. Bypass (or lopper) cutters use two opposed sharpened blades to slice through branches when pressure is applied to the handles. So it’s good to have replacement parts easily available in case you need to get the bypass pruner in shape. Price The blades come with a low-friction coating that will help make the cutting effortless. It also helps keep the sap away from the blades and protect them from gumming up. You also don’t have to worry about rust getting to the blades for a long time.It’s important that the blades don’t move around when you’re not using the bypass pruner. This will help prevent cutting yourself or some other objects accidentally. These ratcheting hand pruners from The Gardener's Friend are designed to be very easy to use even if you struggle with hand weakness. The ratcheting design means that the blades "catch" slightly as they are closed, so the blades help provide the squeezing force, rather than requiring your hands to exert all the effort on their own. That means it's much easier to cut through greenery or small branches up to an inch in diameter. On the downside, a few buyers complained that the blades aren't sharp enough. Plants that flower during summer months should be pruned during the winter or early spring before new growth begins. Flower buds develop on the new year’s growth, so it is important not to prune new growth before flowering." Some summer-flowering shrubs include hydrangea, glossy abelia, rose-of-Sharon, and roses. Suppose that the flower stem was pruned with your average, run-of-the-mill pair of shears. This would result in a stem that was roughly cut, as the stem would have collapsed under the weight of the shears. Due to the rough cut, it can be difficult for water to pass through the stem. Alternatively, using a bypass pruner will result in a cleaner cut, allowing the stem to absorb as much water as it possibly can, essentially extending the flower’s lifespan before it inevitably wilts away.

Flowers are a common gift to loved ones. It is a token of your affection, and they’re a beauty to look at besides. However, did you know that the lifespan of a pruned flower is dependent on how well the flower was pruned? The stem of the pruned flower is the only source of a pruned flower’s water, and how neatly it was cut can determine how well it can absorb water and nutrients. When using a bypass pruner, it’s important to take your time when cutting. Even if bypass pruners are sharp and great for cutting soft material, you still need to be gentle when cutting to ensure the cut is perfect. After all, a tool is only as good as the hands that wield it. Apply constant pressure on the handle as you clamp down on the plier, and you should have a finely pruned branch on your hands afterward. Keep the blades sharp Many models of pruners have a spring in between their handles that push the blades apart as you relax your grip which lessens hand fatigue and your workload. Pruners that don’t have a spring work more like a pair of scissors which relies on your hands to pull apart the handles with each cut.While cutting make sure to put the wood as deep into the blades as possible. This will give you good leverage to cut the wood as well as increase the life of the blades. To make sure that your bypass pruner stays in top form, be sure to keep the blade sharp at all times. This can be done in a few ways – if you have a sharpening tool, for example, you can keep the blade sharp until it becomes too thin to sharpen. Alternatively, you can replace the blade entirely if you have a pruner that has such a feature. Finally, you can always get a new pair of shears if all else fails.

Anvil pruners have a grooved stationary blade and a sharp cutting blade that comes straight down into the groove, creating a clean, crushing cut that is especially good when you are pruning dead twigs or small branches, but can also be used to prune living, woody stems. Anvil pruners are not the best choice, however, for slicing through soft, green stems; you want your bypass pruners for that job.
