We are getting into storm weather and yesterday’s strong winds brought forth the essential trimming back of a tree in our yard. I am not sure who put in the plants but planting a grevillea on a 5foot high rock wall, 5 feet away from a bedroom window was not the brightest idea. Last year in the ‘BIG"’ storm we had a tree of similar size come crashing down…it broke about 2 foot from the base.

I didn’t want that to happen this year. The other tree grew back very quickly too!

So, I cut back the tree, atop the wall and by the window, and removed all offending branches (which was most of them). The wood was soft and the fact that I could cut through the branches with a simple small handsaw proved how dangerous it could be. Now there are no branches hanging over the neighbours yard and shed, none hanging over the roof and none which can come down in a storm and do some random damage.

Only thing left to do is cut the branches down into smaller bits and dispose of them.
