Pro tip: trading the pole pruner for a pole saw on anything over 2 inches
Honestly, for years I climbed everything, even the little stuff, because that's how the crew in Fresno trained me back in 2019. Now I run a pole saw from the ground on any limb over 2 inches and only go up for structure and rigging. It took cutting my climb time on a backyard cedar from 40 minutes to about 15 to make the switch stick. Anyone else split their work by limb size instead of just climbing out of habit?
