NOT recommended. This unit is meant for grass and such thinner bladed plants. It does not cut heavier branch types. You could trim off tomato leaves but not the large branches for which pruning shears would work much better. I would be afraid that attempting to cut woody branches might spring the blades and ruin the tool. My neighbor and I have both used my new unit to trim around flower beds, etc., cutting lighter grasses and weeds and consider it most useful and real back-saver. We keep the blades cleaned and hinge oiled with WD 40 after each use so it will be ready for next summer.

We've never tried pruning branches on tomato plants - I suppose it depends on whether they are large plants. My husband uses the Fiskars for trimming overgrown grass along the fence which does a great job.

Not satisfactorily. I just tried one and it didn't cut the tomato skin so it resulted in a smushed tomato with little strips from the wires. The skin seems to be the problem. I cut a tomato in half and tried cutting through the portion without the skin but the wires hung up on the skin again - So.... I will say that it is not satisfactory for cutting tomatoes.

Hello Susan,I would not recommend this tool for that type of tree. That tree is more of a hedge than a typical tree with large limbs. There is also a correct way to prune this type of tree and you should follow that procedure in order to continue to enjoy the beauty and benefits of the tree. I included a website underneath for you. I hope this helps.http://extension.unh.edu/resources/files/Resource000594_Rep616.pdfregardsfrank

I feel sure it will. I used it on St. Augustine that has a much bigger blade, etc. Just getting me some Zoysia started. There is a web site that sells Zoysia and they advertise this tool for Zoysia on their web site. I LOVE mine and it makes the job so easy.

I have used this for branches ranging from one inch to 1/4 across (rose of sharon, christmas pine, etc) . It likes a long straight woody branch. Not so good on highly branched hedge cuttings like a privet etc.

Yes I have picked and mulched very small branches. I have not picked up heavier debris with it.

I would think it would work to remove leaves & pine needles, providing there's a thick enough layer built up so as to be caught by the rake ... The blade does not down directly on the roof because of the little wheels that are on the blade.

I doubt it. The branches would wiggle too much & it wouldn't be a clean cut. If memory serves rose bushes need a real smooth cut when trimmed, don't know why though.

I have used it for trimming branches, it worked well, as long as the branches aren't bigger than the blade

This saw is good for light pruning. If you're going to cut firewood, a chain saw is far more effective.

Susan, I also would say no. It is more for limbs hortizontally or close to it. You may try and use a long handled pruner model just as long. It will shear off the top as long as it is not over 1" diameter trunk. Mike

It's not a good tool for creating mulch from the items you've described. The Chipper Joe has a 2" diameter feed hole, so it's really meant to be used for chipping small tree branches. Works great for that. Sun Joe sells another tool that is designed to create mulch from soft items like vegetable peels, old fruit, leaves and so forth. I love my Chipper Joe for small tree branches. Works great.

Yes. I use mine on palm trees and some branch bases are thicker than 1 inch. Not sure how it would work with dry branches. I do like it though.

no, but it does tomatoes and plums well so i don't see why it wouldn't work.

YES. I've used mine that way just recently. Great pole saw. AND LONG ! I use it for my Palm trees which are quite high.I must add.....after reading other answers, that you will NOT have much leverage, because all you will have is thetop silver part. BUT, I made out fine. It's Not in place of a "Pruning Saw".

Most likely. I have a wide variety of growth on the property and it cuts everything but more dense sapplings (eg trees). It will cut wild roses which are very tough.

Yes, that was one of the reasons I bought it. Great for pruning down ones you do not want anymore and getting them in an organized pattern.
