Berries: Annual Berry Pruning Made Easier With Lithium-Ion Battery Powered Pruners

摘要

RECENTLY, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to field-test newer electronic hand-held pruners from Pellenc America, Inc. that use lithium-ion battery power. At first, I admit to being dubious of such a lightweight, battery-powered prunerreally being able to cut through older, tough stems of blueberry plants. For sustaining top production of heaviestyielding blueberry plants, each year some of the oldest, gray-bark stems should be removed near the base of the plants.
