I've posted before about how surprised I've been with how much I like my Stihl pole saw. I found another reason this weekend. I got into some sort of poison vine cleaning out some fence rows. But I only have three small swipes on my left arm. I'm sure that if I'd been wading through the briars with a chain saw I'd have this stuff all over me.
They are the cats meow. Limbing trees so you can mow or drive under them. I use mine for cutting those evil bush honey suckle, no bending over crawling through branches getting eye gouged. Just stand back and watch ‘em die !!!
I simply cannot imagine ever cutting down a rose. While I love my beautiful hybrids, wild roses are truly special and should be left be. Fortunately, I have a few wild roses here upon the property. I simply permit them to do their things, and they do them quite well without any fuss at all. https://www.americanmeadows.com/the-wild-roses
