Several trees are getting a bit big so I have decided that we need one

Any recommendations as to a good one? Probably 2-3m long.

Mine is a Gardena sp? interchangable one on an extensible pole.

Unless they have improved the method of fixing I would recommend the
rival Wolf something ones which have a much more positive attachment.

Also get a pruning saw and a short handle to go with it oh and a hard
hat if you do not already own one.

You can do a lot with this combination.
