Passionate gardeners know that, on any given day, somewhere in the garden, there is a plant that would benefit from a little pruning. Certainly, there are periods of the year in which a flurry of intense pruning activity takes place but generally, it can be said that pruning is required in some way, shape or form all-year round. The right choice of secateurs and hedge clippers is therefore essential – a pruning and trimming companion needs to sit comfortably and lightly in the hand, be robust and cut cleanly.
