• For best results always make
the cut above 8mm from the
bud. This allows the wound to
heal properly.
• When removing
unwanted growth
ensure you make
clean cuts that are
angled away from
the buds.
• Prune parallel to existing branches and leaf nodes to
encourage new growth.
• When removing the
entire stem, cut back
to the point where it
branched.
• Each plant is different, slow growing plants will require only
light pruning, fast growing plants will require more frequent
pruning to keep them healthy.
• Ensure you prune all parts of the plant at the same time as
this ensures that there is an even and consistent growth.

Before Starting the Pruner
Pruning can be done all year round. It is advisable to prune
lightly when the shrub/plant is in full bloom or in its peak. Prune
more heavily when the plant is less active and dormant.
General Pruning
• Regular tip pruning of new growth should be carried out
when plants or shrubs are at a young age ideally seedlings
or rooted cutting stage.
• For higher results tip pruning is best after flowering and
during the season. If you prune too late in the season this
affects and reduces your bloom.
• Tip pruning increases your flowers and creates bushier
plants.
WARNING!
NEVER TOUCH THE BLADE WHILE THE TOOL
IS IN OPERATION AND BE AWARE OF THE SHARP EDGES
EVEN WHEN THE PRUNER IS NOT IN USE.
