This is a picture of a Leylandii which forms part of a hedge in my garden …
It is about eight feet high and is kept neatly trimmed.
If it wasn’t it would soon look like this 50ft ‘giant’ ..
… growing in a garden a little way from my house.
“So What ?” … I hear you ask.
Well, usually I am lucky enough to be awakened each morning by the birds singing in my garden, but not today. Instead, this morning, I left my bed to the sound of the screaming buzz of a chainsaw, and on looking out into the street I saw this …
… and a few yards from my house the men in hard hats and safety harnesses were already hard at work …
… turning this monster first into this …
… and then into this …
Unlike the last tree I wrote about, I can’t see this one …
…doing a ‘Lazarus’ !
