Several trees are getting a bit big so I have decided that we need one
of these long reach pruners, the type with a long pole and a rope to
pull to do the actual cutting.

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

On the Aldi/Lidl front, one of them periodically does an electric chain
saw on a stick.

Wonderful bit of kit for pruning tall trees, and none of the positioning,
wiggling and heaving associated with the mechanical pruners.

I don't have one (also, at the moment I don't have any trees) but a friend
has one and I have helped with a couple of over grown gardens and it has
been invaluable.
