Description

Japanese topiary clippers for controlled shaping work

Tobisho 270mm topiary clippers are made for controlled shaping on soft green growth, bonsai, cloud pruning, rounded forms and detailed hedge work. They sit between secateurs and full hedge shears: faster than one-handed pruning, but more controlled than long hedge shears.

Topiary clippers vs hedge shears

Frequently Asked Questions

Curved or straight blades?

Curved blades track domes and arcs more easily. Choose straight for flat faces and crisp corners. Many gardeners keep both and swap by job.

What can I cut?

Soft and medium hedge growth, topiary flush and fine twigs. For hard, woody stems use a pruner to protect the joint and edge.

How do I avoid flat spots on a dome?

Work with light, overlapping strokes and watch the silhouette. The curved blades help keep the cut engaged and the surface continuous.

How do I keep the action smooth?

Clean sap, dry thoroughly and add a small drop of oil at the pivot. Check tension so the blades meet cleanly without binding.
