tree trimmer

Pruning saw operator

A tree trimmer is a person who prunes and shapes trees, removing dead branches, controlling growth, and maintaining the health and appearance of trees—typically as a profession.

The term also refers to tools used for this work, especially long-handled cutting implements that reach high branches: I need to borrow your tree trimmer for the backyard oak.
