What "pruner" means in gardening

A pruner is a tool used to trim and cut small branches and stems in a garden. It is typically a handheld tool with sharp blades that can be used to make precise cuts on plants. Pruners come in various sizes and designs, such as bypass pruners, anvil pruners, and ratchet pruners, to accommodate different pruning needs. They are commonly used to shape shrubs, trim hedges, deadhead flowers, and remove dead or diseased wood from plants.
