I sometimes need a manual telescoping pole pruner to care for aging trees and to thin out high branches. Could someone with experience give me advice on brands and types. Not looking for anything gas or electric. Thanks.

Jameson poles with corona bull lopper head might run you a little but there tough!

I have the jameson poles with bull lopper and polesaw head and they are tough, but probably overkill for most people. Good pole saws are very expensive.
If its for occasional/home use then fiskars makes a very good extendable lopper that goes up to 4.8m high (about 16') and has moderate power. It's reasonably priced, and some tree crews do use them.
In terms of pole saws, the hayauchi is great if you've got money.

It really depends on how much you want to spend and how often you'll need to use it. There are some great pole saws out there if you are willing to spend a lot of money. But for the average user they're probably not necessary.
