Bonsai Pruning Scissors — 180 mm Carbon Steel, Garden Guru

180 mm Carbon Steel Bonsai Pruning Scissors

These 180 mm bonsai scissors are sized for close, controlled trimming where ordinary garden shears can be awkward. Their slim blades help you reach into foliage to remove selected shoots, dead leaves and fine growth while preserving nearby buds and branches. The supplier describes carbon steel blades and a balanced handheld design.

Best uses in bonsai care

Use the scissors for appropriate fine pruning and shaping on an actively managed tree. The 180 mm length may suit a grower who prefers a shorter tool around small pots and closely spaced foliage. For thick woody branches, roots that carry gritty soil or cuts that need a recessed finish, choose a tool intended for that job; forcing delicate scissors can damage the edge. Prune according to the species and season rather than following a universal schedule.

• Length: 180 mm (approximately 7.1 inches).
• Blade material: Carbon steel according to the supplier.
• Care: Remove sap and dirt after use, dry thoroughly and lightly oil the blades to limit rust.

Bonsai tip: Make clean cuts with a maintained edge and avoid removing more foliage than a weak or newly repotted tree can support.
