Sometimes the right tool really can revolutionise your gardening game. Before I even unboxed the Felco 290 pole pruner, I had high hopes for this review. As a gardener who values quality over quantity when it comes to her tools, Felco is a brand I am very familiar with.
However, I had some reservations. Comprising of a telescopic pole, sliding handle, and a series of pulleys, the Felco 290 pole pruner has a reach of up to 8.5ft when fully extended. I am 5ft6 and of slim build, so I was a little worried about how I'd be able to handle this tool to reach the highest tree canopies in my backyard.
