Tree Pruner

01

Artifact Overview

Gardeners and orchardists use pruning shears to shape young trees, remove damaged or diseased limbs, and maintain tree health. Fruit-bearing trees especially need annual pruning to ensure that flowers and buds have adequate light and airflow to set and form the best fruit. This pruner's long handle makes branches higher in trees easier to reach.
