The wooden handle trenching pickaxe by Leborgne is a large hand tool specifically designed for heavy work in very hard and rocky soils. It features an extremely robust hardened steel head with a "diamond" pointed side, useful for removing stones and uprooting, and a rectangular blade side with a sharp cutting edge for digging, loosening, and cutting roots in the soil once it has been softened. Use the trenching pickaxe to prepare soils prior to cultivation by removing stubborn weeds, old stumps, large roots, stones, and rocks, as well as for carrying out heavy earthworks such as creating embankments and ditches. Its 1m (3ft) long wooden handle has been certified 100% PEFC wood and is lightweight for easy handling. Also available with a Novagrip handle. Made in France.
Dimensions: Weight: 2 kg - Handle length: 100 cm (39in)
The trenching pickaxe is a fairly heavy tool, composed of a steel head attached to a hardwood handle by a socket joint. It is one of the oldest tools in the world and is primarily used for heavy garden work such as landscaping, stump removal, and stone and rock extraction. It is the perfect tool for preparing very hard and rocky soils before cultivation. Its metal head, mounted at a 90-degree (194°F) angle to the handle, has two sides, one ending in a sharp point for removing large roots, rocks, and compacting hard and stony soils. The other side is profiled as a rectangular blade with a sharp edge for breaking up, digging, and weeding looser soils. This model is equipped with a forged steel head, fully hardened for better wear resistance. Its round socket joint ensures a perfectly stable connection between the head and the handle, and easy replacement of the handle. The wood for its handle comes from sustainably managed forests, certified 100% PEFC. Its perforated end allows for hanging storage. The handle, terminating in a knob, allows for more efficient use as a lever. This tool is assembled in France.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.

- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
