Each year the colours of autumn combine anew to create an ever-changing and fascinating spectacle of nature. Yet the annual explosion of hues is also an unmistakable sign that the end of the gardening year is drawing nigh. Before the garden goes into hibernation for the winter, garden owners of all stripes can ensure more blossoms and renewed vigour in the coming year by carefully thinning out and cutting back their trees and shrubs one last time. The task at hand is to make sure your cuts are targeted, safe and easy on your body.
No branch too high
Say farewell to ladders! Those gardeners who have to reach great heights to cut back their branches now need only one tool: the GARDENA Comfort Telescopic Pruning Lopper StarCut 410 BL or its little brother, the Comfort Pruning Lopper StarCut 160 BL.
The Comfort Telescopic Pruning Lopper can reach a maximum of 6.5 metres (including the user's own body height), meaning you can always make a precision cut. The sturdy, telescopic aluminium handle is steplessly adjustable from 2.3 to 4.1 metres. The truly big advantage: You work safely and comfortably with both feet on the ground and never need to use a ladder. Even the cutting angle can be easily adjusted from the ground. The integrated transmission adds to and optimises your own energy, with the result that cutting is nearly effortless. The pruning lopper features a completely internal pulley mechanism, so you no longer have to worry about exterior straps getting tangled up in branches. The precision-ground, non-stick coated blades ensure an accurate and clean cut. The blades are operated using either the pull handle with non-slip end stop or the practical T-handle.
No bush too low
Are your cutting chores closer to the ground? If so, you should check out the smaller version of the Comfort Telescopic Pruning Lopper: The handy Comfort Pruning Lopper StarCut 160 BL has a shorter range of motion. It can take care of branches up to a maximum of 3.5 metres above ground level, making it particularly convenient for cutting less towering yet thick shrubs and trees without requiring you to bend over. Plus, its ultra-slim design means you can operate it with just one arm to thin out dense branches and hedges. Of course, this smaller version also features non-stick coated blades for accurate cutting, which are specially shaped to hold the branch in the optimum cutting position.
Dispose of cuttings effortlessly and quickly
Once the pruning and lopping is finished, the next urgent question that arises is: How to best dispose of branches, hedge trimmings and vegetable and flower waste? The answer: with the GARDENA Quiet Shredder. Not only is it comfortable and safe to operate; it offers another big advantage: Despite its powerful 2,500 W electric motor, it works amazingly quietly and thus keeps noise to a minimum to help maintain your good neighbourly relations. This is one useful shredding companion you won't want to do without, particularly for large gardens with older trees. Its maintenance-free special cutting cylinder made of high-grade, hardened steel makes short shrift of thick, woody branches up to 44 mm in diameter. The Quiet Shredder is also especially safe to use: Thanks to its automatic feed, you never have to force the material to be shredded, meaning it's not only easy to operate, but also provides added safety.
