How to choose tools for orchard branch pruning?

When choosing tools for orchard branch pruning, you need to consider factors such as the type of fruit tree, pruning requirements, ease of operation and safety. The following are specific selection suggestions:
1. Choose the type of tool according to the pruning scenario (1) Small pruning (thin branches, tender branches) Pruning shears (hand shears) Applicable to: branches with a diameter of ≤2cm (such as new shoots of apple, grape and peach trees).
Recommended:
For home use, you can choose an economical model (such as the domestic "Tokusuke").
For professional use, choose a model with a high carbon steel blade + anti-stick coating (such as "Felco" or "ARS").
Folding saw
Applicable to: thicker branches of 3-5cm (such as old branches).
Recommended: Three-sided serrated design (such as "Silky"), which is more labor-saving to cut.
2. Medium pruning (higher or thicker branches) High branch shears (long-handled shears) Applicable to: branches 3-5m high (such as pear trees, citrus tops).
Note: Choose an aluminum alloy handle to reduce weight, and a pulley design is better (such as "Fiskars").
Short-handled saw
Applicable to: low thick branches (diameter 5-10cm), such as the transformation of old peach trees.
3. Large pruning (old trees, hardwood) chain saw/electric saw
Applicable to: trunks or dead trees with a diameter > 10cm (such as walnut tree renewal).
Note: Small orchards can choose light electric saws (such as "Makita"), and large areas can use chain saws (such as "Stihl").
