A pole saw is a gardening tool designed for trimming and pruning high branches without the need for a ladder. It consists of a long pole with a saw attached to the end, allowing users to reach elevated areas safely. Some models are manual, while others are powered by electricity or batteries, making them efficient for various cutting tasks. These tools are particularly useful for maintaining trees and shrubs in residential gardens. A pole saw can help prevent overgrowth and improve the health of plants by allowing for proper light and air circulation. They are often used in conjunction with other gardening tools, such as pruners and hedge trimmers.
