Really Awful Tree-t-meant, but a Tree-him-end-ous Improvement.

We’ve had a cypress growing where one never should have been,

It battled for existence, never beautified the scene,

And loved to send out branches which would catch you unawares –

They’d conk you on the noggin as you tried to use the stairs.

The offending tree, already heavily pruned.

The tree no longer traps the eye – and the walls and terraces WILL be beautified in due course!

 

 

 

 

 

A feature with bromeliads or something in due course?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reluctantly, I finally got faithful chainsaw out,
The match would be me versus tree, to matchwood it to rout,
And I emerged victorious, though bleeding here and there
As victim of some pointy bits, where took too little care.

 

 

The clearing-up a mission which then took me quite a whiles,
But finally I had it all reduced to neat-ish piles,
Where larger chunks go to a friend who likes to work with wood,
And most of rest for firewood may prove to be quite good.

The friend will work out the log-istics of how to cart them and what to do with them.

You could get quite a bonfire out of this!
