Formatively pruned, creating a lovely promenade through the Ash and Oak trees.
A good green gym workout this morning, with an hours formative pruning and then another hour cutting back some blackthorn and hazel.
The site was planted around 10 years ago and the owner has asked us to cut back some of the trees planted in front of the houses - to preserve the view of the valley. It will take a couple of days in October with chainsaws to do it properly, but myself, Ann, Ben and Dave made a tentative start with some handsaws. For the trees at the sides of the houses some serious pruning was needed. Homemade oat biscuits at break.
Ben hard at work destroying Blackthorn.
