Can someone tell me which is the best tree saw for pruning large trees and cutting back large shrubs

Depends on how big but I use a bow saw for anything over 2" diameter:
and a pruning saw for smaller stuff:

The pruning saw can get into shrubs when you just want to remove (say) a few older stems.
I use the Wolf pruning saw head on handles of various length depending on what I'm pruning and how high or large it is. I can get at anything with it and at any ange just by changing the handle length.
I reckon for anything over 5 or 6 inches thick you need a man with a chain saw who wants some free fire wood. Don't want to play with chain saws myself any more and it takes far too long to cut big branches and trunks even with a very effective pruning saw.
