With my orchard trees getting older and taller, I definitely need a very good and reliable saw and pruner telescopic pole. I consulted some catalogs but tools are either flimsy quality (around 80$ or so) or battery/fuel operated ( 600$ and more). I want a manual tool but with outstanding quality. Made in North America or Europe. Thanks for any suggestions.
Maybe top work the old taller trees with scionwood saved from 1 year old wood leaving a nurse limb until the grafted ones get growth. Then your problem is solved and as you get older there will be less need for a ladder to spray or pick the fruit.
You will thank yourself years later!
I’m not english-speaking but until now I thought I was able to read and understand quite a lot of what English-speakers/writers were speaking/writing to me but I have to say that your message is lost in translation… to say the least. Marc
It will be very difficult to fine an extension saw pole of quality if even possible. I too qualify as an atheist. I tell people when they want something that can’t be found that I will ask my church congregation to “pray for them”.
Hi Shabou,
Sorry about my English terms. If you research the subject “Top working older trees” you will understand my suggestion to Top Work your taller trees so that you can reach the top limbs from the ground level. Then you will not need a saw.
