The Kent & Stowe Garden Life Bypass Secateurs are designed with specific features to cater to delicate pruning tasks. Here are the key points about these secateurs:
Bypass Action: The bypass action of these secateurs makes them suitable for cutting delicate stems without causing bruising or damage. This design ensures a clean and precise cut, making them ideal for tasks such as deadheading, taking cuttings, pruning, and cutting shoots down to the nearest bud.
Suitable for Live Wood: These secateurs are particularly suited for roses, shrubs, and general pruning of green live wood. The bypass action is gentler on live wood, helping to maintain the health of the plants.
Not Suitable for Dead Wood: While these secateurs excel at cutting live wood, they are not ideal for cutting dead wood. Using bypass secateurs on dead wood can blunt the blades more quickly. For dead wood pruning, other types of pruners like anvil secateurs may be more suitable.
Overall, the Kent & Stowe Garden Life Bypass Secateurs are designed to provide gardeners with a tool that offers precision and care when pruning delicate plants and live wood, ensuring healthy growth and maintaining the aesthetics of the garden.
