While you might get away with loppers<\/a> or standard shears for roughly cutting back trees<\/a> and shrubs<\/a>, specialised topiary shears are much better suited to precise trimming. Their short, sharp blades make it easy to achieve neat edges and fine detail \u2013 ideal if you want to create shapes like spheres, cones and spirals, or even fun characters like animals.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re pruning with topiary<\/a> shears, remember to avoid using them for other materials like wire, or tough woods, which can damage the blades. It\u2019s also best to cut branches diagonally along their fibres and snip wider stems at the base of the blades.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the best topiary shears you can buy right now. For more information on how to choose a great pair of topiary shears, jump to our buyer<\/a>\u2018<\/a>s guide<\/a><\/strong> at the bottom of this article.<\/p>\n
