Anyone with a cutting garden needs a unspoiled pair of lopper . These 7 - in floral shear are perfect for when you need something a little minor and less bulky than Felco pruners . Their total length is about 1½ inch less than the medium bypass pruner , which means they can be comfortably stowed in your back pocket . First design for snipping fruit stems , these floral shear are now wide used by florist and cut - flush growers . Since the foresighted , thin vane make it easy to point within dense plants , they work best for harvesting flush with delicate stems . They are also majuscule for harvest home microgreens and herb , or anything that has more - attendant stem than the average plant .
