Can it cut or chop large beds of flowers (soft stems and 1 foot tall)?

Not likely. It needs rigid resistance like any other saw. Not great for chopping anything that's already on the ground either. I've sawed down trees that were 8 inches across and hundreds and hundreds of dead branches off of trees. That's what this is designed for.

May not be the best tool for it, but it can do it. I would say to hold the stems at the top to keep them tight otherwise they will just wiggle around. You might be better off with a garden knife. Depends on how thick and stiff the stems are.

Absolutely! I cut down a tree with it, now I am going to cut down a tangerine tree....Happy cutting!!!

No good on soft stems/flowers. Very short blade. I would use a hedge cutter.

It can give you a nice cut on any 1/2" piece of wood and 1/3" in softer woods such as redwood or maple. If you have any more questions feel free to call me directly at 407-468-6614. My name is Milena. Thank you

I wouldn't think so - it is HUGE and I don't think it would be agile enough for that. It works really well for carving meat into really thin slices.

Havent tried it but it should be okay. Just adjust cutting height settings.

It will cut it easily. I've cut thicker material but if you plan on cutting a lot of heavy material you may consider a bigger machine.

I do not think it will work....surely you can just use a knife.It works so well for harder fruit and veg....celeriac or beetroot are a dream once grated with this 'machine'

No, this is a manually operated trimmer. It is perfect for delicate trimming around plants and flowers. It is simple to use, and quiet too!

It will but not well. Chopping small branches is easy but the shape of the head and the small blade prevent larger cuts. Works great as a hammer though

I have not tried cutting anything that thick yet, but I think they may be able to handle it. I am sure it can handle 1 inch thick branches.

Not a chance. I was just using this tool this morning to clip a camelia tree. You can cut up to about 3/8" branches.

It's pretty effective on just about anything. Mind you, the blades are not LONG....You still need heavier duty snippers for thick stems...

Yes it will...not a big amount at a time....but it does such a great job......and you can get alot done quickly!....it will chop veggies coarsely or fine...

I use mine on Waxleaf Ligustrum. They are very leafy and have tough stems. They cut them better than any trimmers I have had.

It's for small very tiny trimming and pruning, if you are using it for soft wood stems/buds it is ideal, but if you are cutting actual woody branches, they are not hefty enough.

It should do fine, but be sure to have more cutting line on hand. Some of those thick stocky stems are like steel and use up your line. We have cut small saplings of bushes back with it and it has worked well.

This is not going to work as well on tall grass and vines as a regular machete in my opinion. It does work well on saplings and limbs......it is more of a chopper and less of a slicer.
