Abstract: An electric tree trimming apparatus includes an elongate telescoping tubular handle having a bracket provided on its upper end that releasably mounts and electric chain saw with the bar of the saw supported at an obtuse angle with respect to the handle. A coiled extension cord is accommodated within the handle and has a socket supported adjacent the upper end of the handle for releasable attachment to a plug of the saw, and a plug at the opposite end for connection to a power source. A remote trigger switch is mounted on the handle adjacent the lower end and is electrically coupled to the extension cord of the handle to enable remote operation of the saw.
