One pair of Felco Pruners (style # 7, available from Lee Valley, don't forget the leather holster, clip style....)
[What? Everyone on line raves about these pruners. What else could my true love give to me? I really don't like Bradford Pears and don't have much space for another tree in the garden. I guess the partridge would produce compostable poop so that would be ok. As long as it doesn't eat my plants or the bugs I'm attracting to the garden. Ok. So maybe no partridge either. I think a nice pair of Felco Pruners makes a perfect substitute for a partridge in a pear tree! Don't hate me because I'm practical!]
