The FloraBrite® Pocket Pruner is the compact, take-anywhere member of our FloraBrite range — properly serious bypass cutting power in a pint-sized tool you can slip into a gardening apron pocket, tool belt, or kitchen drawer. At just 17cm long and weighing less than 150g, it delivers the same engineering quality as the full-size FloraBrite Bypass Secateurs but in a properly portable format. Available in pink or yellow fluorescent handles — the same anti-loss design that runs through the whole FloraBrite quartet.

From Sheffield toolmakers Burgon & Ball, who've been making proper garden tools since 1730 — nearly three centuries of British toolmaking heritage. RHS-endorsed, backed by Burgon & Ball's 10-year guarantee.

Why pocket-sized matters

Most gardeners have two cutting needs — the serious pruning of established shrubs and woody growth (where you reach for full-size secateurs) and the quick everyday snipping that happens as you walk around the garden (where full-size secateurs feel a bit much). The Pocket Pruner is genuinely designed for the second category:

  • Fits in a gardening apron pocket — available when you need it, out of the way when you don't
  • Slips onto a tool belt — the right size for keeping with you through the garden round
  • Lives in the kitchen drawer — for the spur-of-the-moment "let me just go pick some herbs / cut a few flowers" moment
  • Carries in a pocket, car or bag — particularly useful for allotment visits where you're not sure what you'll find that needs a quick trim
  • Backup secateurs — if you have full-size FloraBrite or Collectors secateurs, this is the natural second pair for everyday small jobs

The 17cm length and 140g weight make it genuinely pocket-friendly — not just "smaller secateurs" but properly portable kit that doesn't feel awkward on your person.

Properly serious tool engineering

Compact doesn't mean compromised. The Pocket Pruner has the same B&B quality engineering as the full-size FloraBrite Bypass Secateurs:

  • Fully hardened and tempered high-carbon steel blade — same material as the full-size secateurs. Holds an edge through years of use, slices cleanly through living growth
  • Bypass cutting action — the two blades pass each other (like scissors) for clean cuts that don't crush living tissue. Properly important for plant health — bypass cuts heal cleanly where anvil cuts can damage stems
  • Cuts up to 1.5cm diameter — that's most rose stems, soft shrub growth, herbaceous stems, and everyday cutting. (For thicker pruning, reach for the full-size FloraBrite Bypass Secateurs at 2.5cm capacity)
  • Robust alloy handles — the structural strength is in the alloy core; lightweight but durable
  • Comfortable cushion grip — soft-coated handle reduces hand fatigue, particularly important on a compact tool where the grip area is smaller
  • Sap groove in the cutting block — prevents sticky sap build-up jamming the blades. A small detail that matters significantly during rose and fruit-tree pruning
  • Suits small to medium hands — properly sized for women's and smaller men's hands rather than a compromise tool. Many gardeners find full-size secateurs slightly too big for extended comfortable use; the Pocket Pruner solves this

Why fluorescent — the anti-loss design

  • Easy to spot in foliage, soil, or grass — the bright handles stand out against every garden surface
  • Reflective highlights catch light in low-light or dusk conditions
  • Properly visible in the apron pocket too — you'll see when you've left the pruner behind on a bench
  • The compact size is the loss-magnifier — pocket-sized things go missing more easily than full-size ones. The bright design matters more on a compact tool than on a full-size one

The FloraBrite design exists because gardeners lose tools. The Pocket Pruner is particularly prone to going missing precisely because it's pocket-sized; the bright handles solve this properly.

What you'll use it for

  • Light pruning on the walk-round — the small dead bits, soft sucker growth, sappy crossing stems
  • Rose deadheading — the headline use; the precision tip and 1.5cm capacity suit individual flower removal
  • Picking fresh flowers for the vase — quick stems for the kitchen table
  • Herb harvesting — the everyday "I'll just snip some chives for the salad" moment
  • Soft fruit harvesting — raspberry stems, gooseberry pruning
  • Light pruning of soft shrub growth — lavender, sage, herbaceous perennials
  • Garden walk-rounds with visitors — in a pocket, ready for the small in-the-moment cutting
  • Container plant maintenance — the proper scale for pot work

For heavier pruning — thick rose stems, established shrubs, anything over 1.5cm diameter — reach for the full-size FloraBrite Bypass Secateurs instead.

Particularly good for

  • Gardeners with smaller hands — women and smaller-handed gardeners often find the Pocket Pruner more comfortable than full-size secateurs as their primary tool
  • Older gardeners — lighter, easier on the wrist, and bright enough to find easily
  • Gardeners with arthritis or hand strain — the lightweight design (140g) reduces hand fatigue significantly
  • Apron-and-belt gardeners — pocket-perfect for the round
  • Cut-flower growers — carry one all morning while picking, doesn't weigh you down
  • Allotmenteers — the backup pair that lives in the allotment bag
  • Backup secateurs for any working garden — everyone benefits from a second pair
  • As a gift for someone who already has full-size secateurs — the natural complement

How it fits in the FloraBrite range

The Pocket Pruner is now the fifth member of our coordinated FloraBrite range — the proper everyday hand-tool kit in matching anti-loss design:

  • FloraBrite Pocket Pruner (this) — compact pruning, tool-belt friendly
  • FloraBrite Bypass Secateurs — full-size pruning, 2.5cm capacity
  • FloraBrite Flower & Fruit Snips — precision soft work, harvesting
  • FloraBrite Hand Trowel — planting and scooping
  • FloraBrite Hand Fork — weeding and lifting

The full set covers the everyday gardening tasks in coordinated bright-handle design — properly substantial range for the gardener who values the anti-loss approach.

About Burgon & Ball

Burgon & Ball are one of Britain's oldest toolmakers, founded in Sheffield in 1730 — nearly three centuries of British toolmaking heritage. They're RHS-endorsed, supplier to the Royal Horticultural Society, and the chosen manufacturer for the Sophie Conran licensed garden tool collection. We stock their range because they make proper garden tools the proper way — tested in real working gardens, built to last decades rather than seasons.

As a gift

The Pocket Pruner is at one of the genuine sweet spots for considered garden gifts — substantial enough to feel properly thoughtful, accessible enough not to require months of saving. Particularly suited to:

  • A gardener with smaller hands — properly comfortable rather than always slightly oversized for their hand
  • An older gardener — lighter, easier, more visible
  • Someone who already has full-size secateurs — the natural backup pair, perfect for the apron pocket or kitchen drawer
  • A cut-flower grower — carries all morning without weight
  • An allotmenteer — the bag-pruners that don't take up space
  • Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthdays — gift-friendly price point
  • Anyone with arthritis or hand strain — the lightweight design helps
  • A house-warming gift for a new garden owner — properly serious starter kit

A small thought: there's a real pleasure in always having a sharp pair of pruners in your apron pocket as you walk around the garden — the deadhead you'd otherwise have walked past, the crossing stem you'd otherwise have ignored, the bunch of herbs for the kitchen that you can pick on the spot rather than going back for the tools. A Pocket Pruner doesn't replace full-size secateurs; it adds the small everyday cutting that's part of the rhythm of a working garden. Bright enough to find, light enough to wear all day, sharp enough to do the job properly. The kind of small bit of kit that quietly improves your gardening week on week.

A bewitching retelling of Arthurian legend!
Format: Kindle
In a land where the Fae have nearly become only a legend and those who still posses even a morsel of the blood are few and far between, Morgan finds herself cast aside by most of society due to her rumored half-Fae lineage, including her brother, King Arthur. With the kingdom at the brink of war, Arthur entrusts her with a quest to retrieve a Fae weapon of legendary power: the sword of Perun, Excalibur. Accompanied by men she loathes, Captain Kairos Draven and Ragnar Whitehorn, she embarks on her long and unbeknownst perilous journey, only to find that things she once believed to be myth are in fact very real. With devastating twists, omitted truths, witty banter and fierce action, Queen of Roses leaves you begging to know more about the secrets of Aercanum! Wow, wow, wow! Going into this story, I did not realize that it was going to be a retelling of Arthurian legend, especially not one with a fantastical twist! The unique spin almost gave me The Witcher vibes and I think adding Fae into the mix was quite interesting. I knew the basics of the legend but after reading this book, it has piqued my interest and makes me want to learn more about it. My attention was snatched as soon as I finished the prologue and I knew that I was going to devour this story. I truly enjoyed the gender swaps and even how Arthur was portrayed as villainous. Morgan’s past and even her parts of her present is absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her at times. I can only recall one other book that made me hate characters the way I despised Florian and Arthur, leaving me with my blood boiling and feeling disgusted. Even after finishing the book, Draven is still a mystery to me and I cannot figure out how to feel about him. I guess they just means that the author did an excellent job at conveying each character’s persona! The rich world building and imagery made it easy for me to visualize the places that the group visited along their journey. I am truly engulfed in this story and I cannot wait to see wait fate awaits Morgan and how the Fae will be even more incorporated in the next book!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Enchanting
Format: Kindle
"Queen of Roses" by Briar Boleyn is a delightful and refreshing reimagining of the classic tale of King Arthur, with a captivating twist that places the spotlight on Morgan, a character who has often been overshadowed in traditional retellings. Boleyn's creative decision to shift the narrative perspective to Morgan breathes new life into the story, offering readers an intriguing and compelling look at the Arthurian world from an entirely different angle. One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its incorporation of Fae elements, which adds an enchanting layer of magic and mystery to the already familiar Arthurian setting. Boleyn skillfully weaves the world of the Fae into the narrative, creating a captivating backdrop against which the events of the story unfold. This addition not only adds depth to the world-building but also provides ample opportunities for twists and turns that keep readers thoroughly engrossed. However, while the book boasts numerous strengths, it does have one noticeable flaw: the characterization of Morgan. While it is reasonable to create a flawed and complex protagonist, it appears that at times, Morgan's character becomes overly difficult and hard to relate to. Her persistently negative perception of one of the main male characters, who is a potential love interest, despite his efforts to support and assist her, may come across as somewhat irrational and could test the patience of some readers. Striking a balance between a strong, independent character and one who can recognize genuine support and affection could have enhanced the overall reader experience. Nonetheless, the allure of "Queen of Roses" lies in its innovative approach to the Arthurian legend and its skillful blending of fantasy elements into a familiar narrative. Boleyn's evocative prose draws readers into a world where magic, destiny, and fate entwine, leaving us eager to uncover the mysteries that unfold within the pages. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

An action-packed dark romantasy
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! Queen of Roses is an Arthurian-inspired dark romantasy that is the first book in the Blood of Fae series. The story follows Morgan, the princess of Camelot who is rumored to be part fae. Fueled by prejudiced hatred and a mistrust of fae blood, Morgan’s abusive father strips her of her birthright and hands it to her half-brother, Arthur. Instead of becoming queen, Morgan is commanded to join the temple of the goddesses when she comes of age. However, Arthur turns into a psychopathic, power-hungry, fae-hating king as he ages. He develops malevolent plans and commands Morgan to find an ancient weapon with legendary power. Although Morgan is wary of Arthur’s intentions, she embraces the opportunity to go on a journey and potentially change her fate. The story picks up from there and we follow Morgan on her quest to find the ancient relic. It’s full of high stakes adventure, mystery, tension, banter, forced proximity, hidden magic, self discovery, and betrayal. This first installment of the series intricately develops the world building and character development. There’s little romance in this book, but it is evident that it is a slow burn that will continue to develop throughout the remainder of the series. Overall, I loved the world building, the epic fantasy, Morgan’s journey of self discovery, and all of the twists and turns that set the stage for the future installments. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Arthurian Fae Quest…say less.
Format: Kindle
A fae centered Arthurian tale unlike any I’ve read so far. The author did a great job at descriptive world building, with scenes easily playing out in my minds eye. There was plenty of action, suspense, and even a touch of horror. An enemies to lovers, slow burn romance, a quest, with plot twist and turns aplenty. There was a love triangle, which I’m not usually a fan of but, it played out well in this story line. The FMC, Morgan Pendragon, was so blatantly naïve, yet I typically expect as much in a ‘book one’ of a series, especially one that features a fairly sheltered princess. I was happy to read that in spite of this, she still showed a strong sense of morals, fire, and spine. Now our MMC? Kairos Draven, aka Void’s Edge. Oh, how I’m a sucker for a smoking’ hot grumpy warrior alpha with a witty mouth, and a strong sense of “touch her and die” attitude, so you know who held all my cards. That ending? Just made me swoon all the harder. Now add a battlecat that rivals the size of a horse…and well Ms. Briar Boleyn you have well and truly stolen my heart. I’m excited to see where the story goes from here, and follow along to see more of the characters growth. I went into this story fairly blind, and I think I enjoyed it all the more because of it. Once the story got going, it had me in an absolute chokehold and it was difficult to put down.

Not a bad start
Format: Kindle
3 stars Thank you Netgalley and Briar Boleyn for the ARC! A camelot/king Arthur retelling with fae. I was hooked by the idea of this book immediately and was eager to jump into this world. • slow burn • enemies to lovers • who did this to you Morgan Pendragon watched her mother die by her father's hand when she was just eight years old, hiding under the bed. Morgan is believed to have the tainted blood of the fae in her veins and is cast aside so that her fathers illegitimate son, Arthur, can become the king. She's seen his cruel treatment of the fae firsthand, so when he sends her on a journey to find a fae weapon she seizes the opportunity to do more with her life. Along the way, she finds more than she could have imagined. I don't know a whole lot about King Arthur and Camelot but I had a lot of fun with this story! The plot has some similar tropes to popular romantasy books (From blood and ash) but there's enough originality here that it doesn't feel like I'm reading a copy. I liked how the fae were different in appearance than what is typical in most fantasy books I've read. In this book they have blue hair, violet skin and a wide range of other characteristics. I thought that the world building was easy to follow and I could easily immerse myself into this world. After reading the blurb I kept wondering when she was going to go on the journey to find Excalibur and it doesn't happen until around the 45% mark. The story is a bit slow at times but starts to pick up once they begin their journey to find Excalibur. The John Wick style Inn was a fun concept that I enjoyed reading about. There are a lot of similarities to this and FBAA and I would have liked to have it be a little more different, but I'm hoping book two will have the story turn into something of its own. Overall I enjoyed reading this story and I'm looking forward to reading book two especially after that ending.
