Removing dead branches and palms from tall trees can be a problem, so what’s the
solution?
Calling a tree lopper can prove costly and placing a ladder against the tree
with a saw in your hand is too dangerous.
Your best option is to use a pole Prunner which you can hire from Kennards. Pole
Prunners are a versatile, hand held, petrol powered tool designed with a
telescopic arm to safely and easily prune high limbs from trees whilst remaining
on the ground.
The telescopic shaft can be locked in any position and the shoulder harness
leaves both hands free to control the saw. And the whole thing only weighs
around 7 kilos. It’s important to remember to wear the usual safety gear –
gloves and eye protection especially.
Most local councils have vegetations cleanup days, which is a great way to get
rid of your cuttings for free. If not, most tips have a recycling section for
vegetation, or you could even mulch all the dead fronds and spread it around the
garden.
