And a trick I learned at a Japanese pruning seminar in Oregon, in this case
for getting sap off your pruners: Butter. Non-polar solvent for non-polar
crap I suppose, but it's a tasty solution. I often use vaseline for tire
residue from the slicks, it would probably work too.

A bit late I'm sure...
