I can't remember what the tool is called, but I am looking for a pruner, trimmer, that I can use to remove male buds and tertiarys that are way beyond my reach.
What do you use? thanks KathyT

If you look on lee valley tools website which is available in the states leevalleytools.com in the garden catalogue they have such a tool that extends out 6 feet I think and has a clamp type gadget on it that holds whatever you trimmed until you release the trigger.

Kathy,

I use & sell these Corona LR3460 long reach pruners. Cheap, light & available at many retailers or mail order firms.

Kathy I use an old paint pole that extends up to 10 feet long. It is very light, made from aluminum and fairly cheap too. I tape a box cutter knife to it.

Hmmm that is a smart idea I have just been wading into middle of plant to get to stray vines I can see the extension pole for cleaning the house getting a few modifications this afternoon.
