Hi Ladies and Gents. Does anyone know of a pair of topiary shears that would suit a lady and a smaller hand. I presently use a pair bought from garden centre and they are difficult to hold. I have tried electric and long handles shears non of which give me the control I need. Thanks.

Hi, Bel....something like this would be ideal for you: http://www.worldofwolf.co.uk/products/single-handed-shear--rjz.html?gclid=CIDSwbPv1sgCFSLnwgodwEkNKg
Shop around though, as several companies make them.
balls any better.
Not a good time to prune just now, Bel......ask Monty Don.
Take first cut in early June and the final cut before the end of August.
Btw, I trim my box with a version of this one:

i find normal scissors work well for me. means i can control the shape better than shears or the hand clippers
I think it would take me quite a while to do what I have with scissors but it could
be a good way to neaten off when I miss a bit. Thank you both.
