I couldnt give the tree a good pruning to deal with problems higher up such as dead branches, limbs that rubbed against each other, branches that got too close to the house and allowed squirrels on the roof or to be able to open up the tree to allow more sunlight on the lawn to help it grow. It was easier with two people as one could use a garden hoe to lower some branches and the other could prune them. The taller ones were close to the house and I was able to use a ladder to reach the tops.īefore I had the tree pruner I would just reach up and grab branches and use the pruner or lopper to trim the lower branches that were too low above sidewalks, pahways and the driveway. Im tall so I was able to prune them effectively with a hand pruner and a 32 bypass lopper.
I dont have a lot of trees, one large maple, and some smaller trees for privacy and decoration including arborvitae, hemlocks and cypress. When I first bought it, I didnt think Id use it as often as I do because I dont have that many trees but the few times a year I do use it have been worth the modest price I paid. Well, other than another tree falling on it that is:) Using this pruner helped me get some of the other tree clear of windows so they wouldnt break from the weight of the fallen tree and I was able to trim any damaged branches on my tree, as well as pluck off dead branches from the tree that fell on to prevent them from falling on anyone. Ive had the Fiskars Pruning Stik for a number of years and have never regretted the purchase.ĭuring Superstorm Sandy, while other trees were getting damaged and falling one large tree on my property didnt have any problems. Update (7132013): There are some tools you dont use often but are very important when you need them.
