Fruit tree pruning season is at hand and it brings to mind the importance of having the right tools. Whether you’re pruning a fruit tree, a shrub or a bonsai, the right tool makes the job easy. The wrong tool can damage the plant/tree and welcome unwelcome diseases.
Corona Tools gave us a pair of Curved Grape Snips to give away to one lucky Gardenerd who grows grapes (or wants to in 2017). Is that you? We know several gardenerds out there who wrestle with grape vines each year in hopes of harvesting fresh table grapes for their family. Listen up folks, this one’s for you.
Corona grape snips make harvesting grapes easy. Stainless steal ensures long-lasting functionality.
Here are some features of this tool:
- Designed primarily for harvesting table grapes
- Heat treated stainless steel curved 2-inch blades
- To speed up harvesting production
- For better durability and performance
- Can be sterilized or disinfected to prevent cross contamination
- ABS handles for lightweight comfort
- Non-slip grips for better control
- Double-sided thumb locks for left or right hand use
- Beveled blades to improve force to cut
To make this more interesting we’re throwing in a copy of Gardening for Geeks. You can even have it signed by the author if you want.
Start your year off with knowledge and power.

I have limited gardening space here in Los Angeles, but my mom had a raised bed installed in her Inland Empire yard where she receives lots of great direct sunlight. She started a grape vine last year, and we’re both looking forward to seeing how it develops.
I just planted 2 grapevines in my art studio parking lot and dream about the day when the cinderblock walls are covered with juicy, delicious homegrown California grapes and I can lounge in the sun eating grapes, cheese and drinking wine.
Our pergola is just waiting for some vines.
My husband’s grape vines are not growing so well here we n South Carolina. Our dirt is sandy and hard clay. We have hot summers at 115 degrees in July. So I would love to have improvement tips!
My grapes are only four years old but are beginning to produce! We had a nice little yield this past year 🙂
