There are multiple reasons to prune your shrubs and trees. Pruning not only helps shape your plants and restore damaged or diseased areas, but it also removes unproductive parts, allowing better airflow and sunlight penetration. This process encourages healthier growth, enhances blooming, and boosts fruit production in fruit trees.

Now let's master the art of choosing the right tool for the job.
February is the ideal time to prune trees that have suffered damage from harsh weather or disease. A chainsaw is the perfect tool for handling thicker branches efficiently.
When pruning, always follow the 1/3 rule—never remove more than one-third of a tree’s growth in a single year to prevent shock. Make clean cuts at a 45° angle and ensure you prune the right tree at the right time. In February, focus on pome trees such as apple, pear, and quince, as well as stone fruit trees like almond, peach, and apricot.
For cutting thicker branches, chainsaws provide power and precision.
Our CS 100e model effortlessly cuts through branches up to 16 cm in diameter, while the more powerful CS 300e handles cuts up to 26.5 cm. Battery-powered chainsaws offer superior convenience—no cables, no hassle. They also outperform petrol models in noise reduction, maintenance, and environmental impact.
If your trees require a significant cutback due to weather damage or disease, a chainsaw is the ultimate tool for the job.


Do you have tall hedges and trees in your garden that need maintenance?
The dormant season is here, making it the perfect time to prune most deciduous trees. Pruning helps control tree shape, whether you want a wider shade area or to maintain a manageable branch height.
For versatile pruning, multi-tools are a game-changer. These adaptable tools are ideal for trimming both hedges and trees, and their telescopic shafts allow you to work safely from the ground—no need to balance on a stepladder.
For essential pruning and cutting tasks, the battery-powered MT 100e Kit is a great choice, with a 55 cm telescopic shaft reaching up to 2.75 m. For even greater reach, the MT 500e extends up to 4.3 m. Both models feature a soft-touch rubber grip for added comfort and a rotating handle to help you trim at strain-free angles.
