a long pole with a cutting blade or saw at the end, used for trimming high branches or foliage
A pole pruner is a long-handled tool used for trimming or cutting branches that are high up in trees or shrubs. It has a sharp blade or pruning saw attached to a pole, allowing the user to reach and cut branches without needing a ladder. Pole pruners can be manual, where the user pulls a rope or handle to operate the blade, or powered, with a motor that cuts through thicker branches. They are useful for maintaining trees and shrubs, especially in areas where it is difficult to reach with standard pruning tools.
