These were 15' tall and took up all the space you see, so out came the chainsaw.......they have started to sprout already!

Yes Moti they will soon grow and then kept at a more manageable height, I have planted some new shrubs
to fill the gap it looks rather drastic just now...........

Me too Moti I have lots of them here - most are still intact you'll be pleased to know!! :o)

Thank you for liking Carol :o)

There are ads down the side of this for secateurs do you think they are trying to tell me I'd be better sticking to them!!!

This looks like the way our Council gardeners always do the pruning

I know what you mean Andrew it is the same with our council too! Last time these were cut at 6' they shot up to 15' from that cut, so this time they needed to be lots lower to stay at a more manageable level ! :o)
