Puller Bear in action

PullerBear is a powerful tool for uprooting Broom plants, usefull for stems more than 1 cm dia. which are too hard to pull by hand in most substrates.
Unfortunately the tool is excessively heavy due to its long steel channel handle. The alternative for this size plants is to cut the root a few cm below ground with Bypass Loppers.

The Pullerbear tool can be borrowed from Denman Conservancy Association; ask: info@denmanconservancy.org

Today I pulled 10 mature broom plants (2+ years).
