Re: Busy weekend/pruning

Guess that's one advantage to the pole saw--hard to get in the way of the chain when its 6 feet away from your trigger finger.

Yep- I'm with Kitty-  the light weight of an
electric wins hands down,
especially when using something that you could cut
your arm of with if
you lost control of the tool.

Why electric? I've had two gasoline chain saws,

it--especially if it's 150 feet long. Not many

places here one

couldn't reach with that.

I think I went with electric because it's

smaller, lighter, and possibly

less expensive.  I knew it would be something I

wouldn't use a lot,

but it's
a lifesaver when I do need it.

cord in the way?

I'd get some advise-

Donna, I love to prune!   I think you should



leave



those lower limbs on.




The closer   foliage is to the roots the



faster you



have   energy exchange.




Better to not prune newer trees until they get



established.
