Helen Yemm in English Garden reports
‘In every garden there are difficult-to-get-at pruning jobs for which secateurs are definitely too small, two handled loppers too cumbersome, and a bow saw (or any other kind of saw) too unwieldy.
Admittedly, a pruning saw is not something you use every day – or even every month; however, in shrubby gardens, where there is a lot of maintenance pruning to be done, often in dense thickets, a slim, handy and murderously sharp blade is an absolute necessity.’
