With _A_ serissa, your list of necessary tools is short. ARS
makes a very good, sharp, long-lasting pair of bonsai
scissors
($21.67 in the A.M. Leonard catalog (p. 56 in the current
catalog - item ARS64) (See also www.amlgardener.com) ). For
a
serissa, this is probably the only tool you'll need.

Jim, I find one other tool handy with a serissa. Tweezers! I
use it to constantly pick off the yellow leaves. I am not saying
this as a joke. My Serissa constantly produce some amount of
yellow leaves, especially if they are mad with me about moving
them, touching them, or even looking at them in the wrong way. I
do have to admit that picking the leaves off with the tweezers is
one of my favorite forms of relaxation. Probably the main reason
I like serissa!


Nah. Just pick it up, and shake it. ALL the leaves will fall
off. ;-)
