• Battery type: Lithium batteries offer longer life than lead-acid or nickel-cadmium batteries.

Pruning fruit trees is essential to ensure good production and plant health. Here are the ideal times for pruning:

• Winter (dry pruning): Prune during the dormant season, generally between January and February. This allows you to remove dry, diseased or damaged branches and shape the plant.
• Spring (green pruning): Carry out green pruning between May and June, when the tree is in full vegetation. This serves to eliminate excess branches and improve light penetration and air circulation.
• Summer (summer pruning): In some cases, light summer pruning can be useful to reduce the vigour of the tree and stimulate fruit production.

To prune an olive tree requires care and knowledge of specific techniques. Here are the main steps:

• Removing suckers: Remove vigorous branches that grow vertically from the trunk or main branches. These branches take energy from the plant without producing fruit.
• Thinning the canopy: Reduce the density of the canopy to improve light penetration and air circulation. Cut branches that cross or grow inwards.
• Maintaining shape: Prune branches to maintain an open, vase-like shape. This makes harvesting fruit easier and reduces the risk of disease.
• Removing dead or diseased branches: Remove all dead, damaged or infected branches to prevent the spread of disease.

Pruning techniques vary depending on the type of plant and the objectives to be achieved. Here are some of the most common techniques:

• Formative pruning: Performed in the early years of the plant's life to give it a strong, well-defined structure. It consists of removing excess branches and guiding the growth of the main branches.
• Maintenance pruning: Performed regularly to maintain the shape and health of the plant. It includes the removal of dry, diseased or damaged branches.
• Production pruning: Focused on increasing fruit production. It consists of thinning out branches to improve light penetration and encourage the formation of fruit buds.

Green pruning and dry pruning are two pruning techniques used at different times of the year and for specific purposes. Here are the main differences:

• Green pruning: This is carried out during the active growing season of plants, generally in spring and summer. It serves to improve light penetration and air circulation by removing superfluous vigorous or excess branches. It also helps to prevent diseases and pests. The cuts are light and aimed at removing unproductive branches or those that compromise the structure of the plant.
• Dry pruning: This is carried out during the dormant period, usually in winter when the plant has lost its leaves. It aims to shape the plant, remove dry, diseased or damaged branches and prepare the plant for the new growing season. Cuts can be more drastic than green pruning, removing larger and older branches.

Pruning roses is essential for keeping the plant healthy, promoting abundant flowering and preventing disease. Rose pruning should generally be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Here are the main steps for pruning roses:

• Necessary tools: Use sharp, clean pruning shears to avoid damaging the plant and prevent infection.
• Removing dead and damaged branches: Start by removing all dead, diseased or damaged branches by cutting them at the base or at a healthy point on the branch.
• Thinning cuts: Remove branches that grow towards the inside of the plant or that cross with other branches to improve air circulation and light penetration.
• Pruning main branches: Shorten the main branches to stimulate new shoot growth. Make cuts above an outer bud to encourage open, well-distributed growth.
• Shape control: Maintain a balanced and harmonious shape by avoiding leaving branches that are too long or untidy.
• Final cleaning: Remove all pruning debris from the ground around the plant to prevent disease and promote good garden hygiene.
