Pruning shears, also called hand pruners (in American English), or secateurs (in British English), are a type of scissors used for plants. They are strong enough to prune hard branches of trees and shrubs, sometimes up to two centimetres thick. They are used in gardening, arboriculture, plant nursery works, farming, flower arranging, and nature conservation, where fine-scale habitat management is required. They are typically manually powered, although electric versions are available.[1]
Loppers are a larger, two-handed, long-handled version for branches thicker than pruning shears can cut.
