tree pruners

Long-handled garden shears

Tree pruners are cutting tools designed for trimming branches and foliage from trees and shrubs.

The term covers both handheld shears for small branches and long-handled loppers or pole pruners that reach higher growth without a ladder: I need the tree pruners to cut back these overgrown limbs.

The phrase may also refer to the people who do such work professionally.
