Here’s the simple pruning rule: Orange side towards the tip of the branch, black blade towards the base of the branch. Allows access to tree crowns and dense bushes, enabling the gardener to trim overhead without needing a ladder, or at ground level without bending or kneeling. To make it easier to cut stems that are in awkward positions, the top section of these pruners can be adjusted, giving you greater manoeuvrability and allowing you to reach specific stems.This high quality tree lopper is designed for your convenience, with its unique hook to loosen stuck branches and its pulling strap to ensure that the unit itself doesn’t get caught up. Its light weight makes it very manageable for repeated precise, accurate cuts in very high, low or inaccessible branches, without making it tiring to hold for long periods. We’ve identified the long reach tree pruners in our review as either loppers or those with saw blades or those who have both of these cutting mechanisms.

The third tree I tested the pruners on were a white sapote, which tends to have ragged fibrous edges on the pruning cuts when tools aren’t sharp enough, and I managed nice clean pruning cuts on this tree also. While it doesn’t extend as far as some of the other pruners in our review, this model is enough for the needs of most home gardeners. The Fiskars PowerGear™ X Telescopic Tree Pruner (UPX86) features an ingenious, power-boosting mechanism for each cut and an extendable shaft up to 6 meters that is ideal for pruning tree branches and crowns up to 32 mm diameter.
