Totally broken now. Day 2 of trimming the big shrubs and tree. Not 100% done yet but the bin is almost full, so that's for the coming days to top it up until pickup day.
Dad also came along with his chainsaw-on-a-stick to help me out with the high up branches.
The shrubbery and tree look better now. I also found out that the murderous tall needles on the tree are actually very capable of penetrating the soles of my boots. Ow.

@StroomAfwaarts Kinda needs every year, otherwise my garden's full of thorny trees. But it did need bigger trimming this time. Next year we're going to 'kortwiek' it, so we can easier trim the top too.
@trinsec ah! topping? (like with heavy street trees) or pollarding? (like willows)
@StroomAfwaarts *Imagegoogles* Ah, I think more the topping approach. We did quip about the willow thing too, 'knotwilgen', hehe.
@trinsec I thought you did that thorny tree last year?
