Burgon & Ball - RHS Flower & Fruit Snip – Professional Precision Harvesting Tool

Burgon & Ball RHS Flower & Fruit Snip – Professional Precision Harvesting Tool

The Burgon & Ball RHS Flower & Fruit Snip is a professional-grade tool designed for the delicate yet demanding work of harvesting and thinning. Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, these snips combine the surgical accuracy of pointed blades with the strength needed to cut through tough, fibrous stems. Finished in iconic "Racing Green," they are as stylish as they are functional, offering a hygienic and rust-resistant solution for florists, fruit growers, and home gardeners alike.

Best For: Precision harvesting of flowers and fruit, deadheading, and light pruning where clean, scissor-like accuracy is required to maintain plant health.

Key Features

• Precision Scissor Action: Engineered for high-accuracy cutting, the scissor mechanism allows for a smooth, controlled snip that is ideal for delicate floral arrangements.
• Stainless Steel Blades: The high-quality blades are rust-resistant and easy to sterilize, which is essential for preventing the cross-contamination of plant diseases during harvesting.
• Tapered Pointed Tips: Specifically designed with narrow, pointed blades to allow the gardener to reach deep into dense foliage or clusters of fruit without damaging surrounding growth.
• Heavy-Duty Capability: While designed for precision, these snips are robust enough to handle surprisingly tough stems that would stall standard household scissors.
• Ergonomic Racing Green Handles: The comfortable, contoured handles are finished in a classic garden aesthetic and designed to fit comfortably in the hand for extended use.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Since oversized items require special handling, we may need to provide a custom freight quote for your order and will contact you with an updated shipping rate.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup - default method
✔ Direct delivery - requires forklift on site
✔ Direct delivery with tailgate lift truck (extra fees apply)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Because of the forklift requirement, delivery to the nearest depot is the default option and will be the method used unless you contact us to request otherwise.

Business Delivery:

• Business delivery is available for commercial customers only
• If you select business delivery and your products are bulky, it is your responsibility to ensure you have appropriate equipment (including forklifts) to unload products from the delivery truck
• If you select business delivery and you are not a business, you risk your product not being delivered and may incur additional fees to retrieve your order
• Business delivery customers must provide a valid business address and contact information
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

Let us know your preference, and we'll arrange the best solution for you!

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
