Trees, hedges, shrubs and flowers.

The most important tasks at a glance.

Prune trees All kinds of trees are found in gardens – fruit trees, deciduous trees or conifers. So that trees can grow healthily and retain their shape, old and dry branches must be regularly removed. Here, it’s a matter of the right cut and suitable tools.

Why?

How often?

Keep healthy: Trees thrive and grow better when dry or diseased branches are regularly removed. This promotes healthy growth and, in the case of fruit trees, increases the yield and quality of the fruit.

Prune your summer blooming trees, deciduous shade trees, and fruit trees once a year. It’s best to prune in winter or early spring, before budding begins.

Control growth: By regularly pruning your trees, you control the growth. Summer pruning slows tree growth and winter pruning stimulates it.

“Train” plants: Trees – particularly those without root balls – need to be pruned directly after planting. This re-establishes the balance between the cut roots and above-ground tree parts, and shapes the tree crown.

Maintain growth- and flowering strength: Maintenance pruning helps to retain and increase the growth- and flowering strength of the tree. In particular, old branches must be removed for this.

Thin out trees: To bring more light into the tree crown and for better air supply, you should regularly thin out your tree. Especially weak, diseased, dead or too-dense shoots should be removed from the branches.

When?

Many nurseries recommend pruning in spring – before the tree forms buds. This spares the nutrient stores. Dead and diseased branches should always be removed.

Trim hedges and shrubs Woody plants thrive better when they are regularly trimmed. Through trimming, hedges and shrubs form new shoots and branch out ­better.

In addition, neighbouring plants have better growth conditions.

Why?

How often?

Trim: Hedges and shrubs thrive better are more healthy when old, plant parts are removed. Through trimming, the plants receive more light which promotes healthy and targeted growth.

Depending on the plant and location – trimming a hedge is necessary twice a year. Trim in Autumn and again at the beginning of Spring. With shaping, it’s important that the shoots not become too long, so that the shape may be maintained.

Shape: Through targeted and filigree trimming, you get your plants into shape. Boxwood quickly and easily becomes a spiral, a sphere or a cone.

GARDENA tip When you trim your hedge in such a way that it gradually grows wider below, you ensure that the lower leaves also receive sufficient light and warmth.

When?

Spring is especially suitable for the first trim because temperatures are mild. In addition, birds are not nesting yet, the branches are manageable and there are fewer pests which could colonise the cutting points.

Cut flowers A garden with gloriously blooming flowers is especially beautiful and ­impressive. Regular cutting measures turn your garden into a personal work of art.

Why? GARDENA tip Cutting serves to retain the shape of ornamental plants and to improve growth progress. Many flowering shrubs bloom a second time when they are cut back in summer. Wilted blossoms should be regularly removed to promote new blossoms.

When?

Cut frost-resistant flowering plants on frost-free days during the winter. Frost-sensitive plants – such as roses – tolerate the cut better in June / July.

How often?

Cut your plants back once a year and possibly a second time after the flowering period.

Trees, hedges, shrubs and flowers

Remove secondary shoots directly at the bud union.

Always cut plants with buds directly above the bud.

Secateurs There are two different types of secateurs: Bypass and Anvil.

Bypass Secateurs with two ground blades: For flowers and fresh green branches and twigs. Both blades are sharpground and simultaneously penetrate the twig (similar to conventional paper scissors). The cutting head is very slim, thus the twigs and shoots can be cut very close to the trunk. This prevents cones that hinder the flow of sap.

Anvil secateurs with one ground upper blade and a stable anvil below: Ideal for hard and dry wood. Similar to an axe the upper blade is hollow ground (initial tension) and penetrates hard and dry wood more easily.

The wide anvil distributes pressure and supports the branch in order to avoid damage to the bark.

Beds and soil.

How to prepare the soil – step by step.

Dig and remove Soil is the basis of life for all plants – regardless whether for the v­ egetable- and flower bed, or also the lawn. For your plants to grow and thrive, they especially need healthy and nutrient-rich soil. That’s why the soil should occasionally be dug.

Why? GARDENA tip Over time, due to weather conditions or planting, soil loses its health and becomes non-porous for water and nutrients. So that plants can grow strongly and healthily again, the soil must be regularly dug and the structure loosened.

While digging, work some sand and compost into the soil. This kind of soil can better hold water and nutrients, and also lets more oxygen through. Loosening of the soil becomes easier and digging periods are shortened.

How?

When and how often?

With digging, you proceed systematically: Divide the area into strips and then dig out a small furrow of approx. 25 - 30 cm width and as deep as the spade. Throw the soil beside the empty furrow. Go to the next furrow, dig out the same amount of soil and throw it into the first furrow.

While doing this, break up soil clumps. Continue with this pattern until the required area has been worked. Finally, the last furrow is filled with the soil from the first.

Digging soil is recommended whenever beds are newly planted or with beds with strong weed growth. For already planted beds, dig the soil in autumn – after clearing the beds. For clay soil, it’s ­recommended to dig once a year. For humus- and sand-rich soil, this intensive cultivation of the soil only needs to be carried out every two years.
