This doesn’t mean a chipper will not process some green material, it will. But if like many landscapers and gardeners you find you the bulk of the material you are processing is green waste, hedge clippings and brambles, then a shedder will process this type of material faster and more efficiently than a chipper.

If on the other hand you are looking to cut down trees and process the waste wood and only have limited amounts of green waste, then a chipper will, for woody material, be the better solution.
