There is also plenty to do in the garden in winter, because now is the right time for pruning! Pruning in winter, when done correctly, promotes new growth and fruit yield. With our tips and the right tools, the gardening season can begin.

Pruning is one of the most important maintenance measures for strong growth and a long life. It involves removing diseased or dead branches and superfluous shoots and thinning out the tree crown. However, trees may only be pruned at certain times of the year, mainly in summer or winter. Deciduous trees and pome fruit are particularly suitable for winter pruning. It should only be carried out during the tree’s dormant period, as a large proportion of the sap is in the trunk and roots during this time. This gives the tree enough time to recover before budding in spring. The winter pruning work should be completed by mid-March. A dry day with temperatures above freezing is the ideal time. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

When pruning trees, it is important to use a sharp stainless steel tool that produces clean cutting edges and does not fray. This allows the wounds to heal well. In addition to good secateurs for thin shoots, our pruning saw or our classic bow saws are efficient and indispensable tools for this. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
