The Trimpro Original is an effective and very quiet leaf trimmer. It is used to remove excess leaves and to cut twigs from different types of plants and flowers. The Trimpro Original is also used to cut plants and bushes like rosemary, oregano, basil, mint, lavender, coriander, parsley and to prepare essential oils and mixed flowers for potpourri. Its blade, made of tempered steel, allows a clean cut without damaging the plant. The Trimpro Original is equipped with a leaf recovery system and is quickly disassembled for easy transportation. For trimming, take a branch of a freshly harvested plant in your hand and move it over the grate with a back-and-forth movement, rotating the plant at the same time.
