Four Specialty Gardening Tools to Try This Year

If you’re an avid gardener with a wide variety of plants and trees to care for, you know the importance of using the right tools for the job when maintaining your garden and keeping everything growing and thriving. At Frostproof Growers Supply, our team is here to help gardeners, growers, and even commercial growing operations find the tools and supplies they need to keep plants growing strong and healthy for years to come! At Frostproof, we’re proud to carry a wide range of tools and supplies, including specialty items that you won’t find at generic hardware or plant stores. Here are four popular specialty gardening tools we recommend growers try this year.

Grafting Kit

One of the best ways to breed trees and shrubs is through grafting. While it can be difficult to learn and successfully execute, grafting can be extremely rewarding, especially for new gardeners or growers who haven’t tried grafting before. With the help of the TreeKote Grafting Kit, you’ll have everything you need to get started! Even if you’re an experienced grower who has successfully grafted trees and shrubs for years, this kit is a great deal, providing you with all of the tools you’ll need to ensure grafting success. This kit is an excellent tool to add to your kit whether you’re a hobbyist, professional, or even an instructor teaching grafting techniques to new growers.

Telescoping Fruit Picker

Harvesting fruit can be a dangerous task to undertake, especially if your fruiting trees have grown tall or large over the years. Instead of balancing on ladders or worse, trying to climb the tree, stay safely close to the ground and harvest easier with a telescoping fruit picker! This useful tool is designed to make grabbing fruits and nuts safer, quicker, and easier than scaling ladders to reach them with your own hands. This fruit picker is a great tool if you grow avocados, mangos, oranges, grapefruits, persimmons, chestnuts, and so many more! With a built-in net on the picker itself, you won’t have to worry about dropping or losing your picked goods and will instead be able to safely bring produce from the top branches of your trees!

Telescoping Pruner

While staying on the ground during fruit picking is great, pruning away branches and unwanted growth is also important for the health of your trees and shrubs but can require climbing ladders, making it difficult and unsafe, too! Instead of dealing with ladders or straining to reach areas of your plants that you can’t reach otherwise, a telescoping pruner is a great way to ensure that you stay safe on the ground while pruning! The long-reach pruner adjusts from a five-foot reach to a ten-foot reach and allows for pruning in a wide variety of angles and areas of your garden. This pruner also features the option to add a saw blade attachment for heavier cuts!

Tree Wound Dressing

When trees get wounded, they can suffer stunted growth, disease, infestations, and other negative outcomes if the wound isn’t dressed properly. Growers and gardeners know that using the right wound dressing can help to set the tree up for healing success, too! The TreeKote Tree Wound Dressing is a top choice among Frostproof Growers Supply customers and is an emulsion that protects trees after pruning or bark damage. Apply this wound dressing to seal and protect affected areas from insects, fungi, and disease!
