Pyracanthus after lots of hard work

Well done you. That is not an easy job.

Climbing ladders gets harder when you are nearing 50! My friend said to me well if i fell off I could alway hang onto the climer, well yes, cut to ribbons! Anyway, I survived to tell the tale! This cut back will make it easier to control in the future and I have to cut back mine tomorrow!!

Well done Lulu33, glad you are down though:))))

WoW your brave Lulu, Im scared of heights, so just looking at that ladder has me shaking lol.. Youv'e done a great job there and very satisfying, Well done..

that looked very hard going - I wasn't aware they grew that tall - thought they stopped at 9 ft

oooh no, they grow huge! Never been scared of heights but it can come with age, I was a little more careful than I might have been in my 20's or 30's! But quite a satisfying job done today.

Well done Lulu,fine looking house,any spare rooms.Lol

oh dear - may need to move mine then :D

My friends house Johnjoe!!
and Paul, Lol!!!

Looks good Lulu.

Hard work but they are so well worth the effort.

They are so well worth the effort. I planted a couple at the front of our cottage, it gets only 2 hours sun but still puts on a fine display even though they are still quite young and small, after that job, I will keep mine well under control!

Good Idea. The birds love them as well..which is always a bonus.

They do indeed!

I admire you for tackling that job, Lulu. I struggle to balance on steps at Mums to keep hers in shape. It's on a wall of the porch & has to be kept clear of the guttering and shaped around a small window. Hateful job!

I am all covered in scratches Shirley!
Glad I drank the presant of wine after the job was done Lol!

Even picking up the prunings is a tricky job ... so many thorns on them! I'm glad you drank after and not before, Lulu! : o ))

Keep finding scratches in the oddest of places Shirley!
Pruned mine yesterday!
Am loving this sunshine today and yesterday, am having to coaxe my way from the garden for a few days going to see folkes up north:0)

Have a great time, Lulu. : o )))
