This small Burgon and Ball steel boxwood shear is a flexible, lightweight, easy to handle and precise cutting tool, designed for trimming grass and cleanly cutting tender stems, grass and not-too-thick green wood. Its double bow handle provides great pressure and maximum comfort. Made of hardened carbon steel, the angled blades are perfect for boxwood and topiary maintenance, light pruning, and refining lawn edges!
Its double and comfortable handle, as well as the length of the blades of this hand shear (9 cm (4in)) and the tool (22.5 cm (9in)), make it particularly suitable for gardeners with small hands (and/or small pruning tasks).
The English have the privilege of being the reference in gardening (especially when it comes to lawns). Promesses de fleurs has chosen the English company Burgon & Ball for the quality of its materials and its soon to be tricentennial steel manufacturing methods. The company has been working with steel in Sheffield since 1730, initially with a patent for solid steel sheep shears. The production of garden shears and equipment quickly surpassed that of sheep shears, but Burgon & Ball stainless steel tools are officially approved by the Royal Horticultural Society - probably the ultimate reward in gardening.
The steel used for Burgon & Ball tools is alloyed with carbon to give it strength, and with chromium to prevent the formation of rust. It's a very precise balance that needs to be found between chromium and carbon, different for each part of the tool. The heat treatment allows to give exactly the right hardness to the steel for each tool. Too hard and the metal can break or chip, not hard enough and it will bend or lose its sharpness. The thickness of the steel used is also dependent on the tool. The thickness of the steel affects the weight, so it's also a balance to be found, which the Burgon & Ball company, with its soon to be 300 years of experience, has validated to ensure that its tools are both efficient and pleasant to use.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.

- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
