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 would love to learn more about growing grapes in coastal Los Angeles. What varieties do well in our climate? Growing grapes is definitely on my list for this year.
These would be perfect for trimming grapes growing on our border fence!
I have two 4 year old grapevines growing up a shade structure in on the back of my Del Rey home. For 2 years I just pinned the vines at the structure perimeter because the large canvas cover is costly. (resale value worry) Last spring I folded back 3/4 of the cover and was delighted at the extra light in my house during the winter months and the glorious living shade in the hotter summer months. My grapes flourished and were far more productive. Now the cover is off completely and I am an aggressive pruner. Let the budding begin!
I would love to have all kinds (black, green and red) Seedless of course!
2017 will be the fourth season for vines growing on a pergola in the middle of our edibles garden (in West VA). As the vines grow over the top of the structure, pruning will be especially challenging and this tool especially helpful.
