What you probably want is this:

These are in very short supply. I finally got one after about six months
of waiting for the store to get some. They got two of them and they sold
them within minutes of each other (I saw the guy in line with the other
one).

So they do sell electric ones. That's what I need. But I wont buy it
from Harbor Freight. The thing would probably be dead after 4 hours of
use or less. HF sells junk. And that pole is too short for my needs

I'ts 8'10" but the pro ones are 12 feet.

too. I took a 20ft wooden pole and attached a hand operated bow saw to
it. It's heavy and clumbsy, but it does do the job after a lot of
sweat. A 20ft pole would be more my style!

I also need to do some trimming on a 25 foot fir tree.

I have a telescoping aluminum pole meant to hold a paint roller. I
even used it to paint the peak of my gable (right word?) I somehow
thought small chain saws were also threaded like a paint roller and I
could just screw my small one or my medium small one (3.25 HP, 12", is
that medium small?), but neither had threads, so then I spend some
time trying to think how to attach with rope and bungee cords. No
good answer yet.
