Developed over the past two pruning seasons (2009 & 2010) in Marlborough New Zealand, this machine is now commercially available. The Langlois Mechanical pruner can be used in cordon/spur pruning (with the cutter attachment) or in cane pruning (without cutter). The shredder/chipper reduces the unwanted wood to a fine mulch which breaks down very quickly to organic matter thus reducing disease risk.All permutations of this machine can be viewed at www.langlois.co.nz
