We trim wet--- unless we get behind and they get wilty-- then we remove the fans only and remove all the branches from the main and wait till they are dry to trim (Much harder IMO)
I like the Curved pair-- I use the small sewing shears from Fiskars-- I like how they can get into the small spaces and avoid chopping off pistils.... We have a large pair of PVC cutters (Ratchet style) that work a dream for big stalks!!! And we just use a pair of Fiskars basic shears for removing branches... Draig uses a medium size pair of sewing shears- same brand, just bigger.
