Shape Up Your Shrubbery With a Hand Pruning Saw

Regular trimming and pruning can help keep your foliage healthy by allowing proper airflow between branches. While a hand pruner works well for thin branches, a pruning saw is your best choice for branches greater than 1-1/2 inches in diameter. There are various types of hand saws for trees and shrubs to suit your needs. For thick branches or to avoid fatigue, choose a battery-powered tree hand saw.


Frequently Asked Questions


Q: What’s a hand pruning saw?

A: A hand pruning saw is a hand saw that’s meant for trimming trees and shrubs with branches that are greater than about 1-1/2 inches in diameter. For smaller branches, you may be able to use pruning shears. A hand saw for trees often features a curved blade with a handle at one end. There are also straight blades, electric hand saws and bow-shaped saws available for the same purpose.


Q: What kind of saw is used to cut tree branches?

A: There are many different types of saws for cutting tree branches. The one you need will depend on the size and diameter of the branch you intend to cut. For very large tree branches, you’ll likely need a pruning limb saw with coarse teeth. For branches up to 2-1/2 inches in diameter, choose a fine-toothed pruning saw. If you’re pruning branches that are high up, you may need a pruning pole saw that features a long handle so you can reach them.


Q: How do I choose a pruning saw?

A: Choose a pruning saw based on the job and your abilities. A battery-powered pruning saw is the easiest kind to use because they minimize the amount of work it takes to saw. Manual saws are available with fine teeth for small branches and coarse teeth for large branches. For safety, many pruning saws fold in half or come with a sheath so you can cover the teeth before carrying the saw up a ladder or storing it.
