Topiary Shears
During the warmer months of the year, your garden can start looking like a jungle because it’s growing so fast.
More so because of la nina bring welcoming rains to drench the parched soil.
What things can you do in the garden to tame it somewhat other than a short back and sides?
Have you thought of a bit of topiary?
Let’s find out what needs doing
I'm talking with Tony Mattson general manager of www.cutabovetools.com.au
Normally you need to do the trimming fairly regularly and you're trimming the newer growth.
- The single handed topiary shears are great for small jobs such as perfecting that topiary ball. Topiary shears are similar to sheep sheers. (pictured
- Two handed topiary shears are a lightweight hedge shear usually weighing less than 1 kg.
- The blades are straight and vary between 20-25cm (8-10 inches) in length.
- There's also battery operated one handed shears.
