What Equipment do i need to buy to start off tree pruning…?
I do a bit of tree pruning here and there, most of the jobs i have done have only required a strop to keep me in the tree so i can use both hands….

2) Climbing line (what type?)
3) Cambium saver
4) What clips do i need…..
Thanks
Unless you are insured for the job I wouldn’t do it.
