By the time I finished, I was working in total darkness (I need more lighting in the backyard)
This big boy (the starburst tree) will be done by professionals, I'm getting to old for this.

Tree pruning time
Today I left work early, trying to get home before dark to do some pruning in the backyard. Unfortunate the traffic gods were not with me, by the time I got home the sun was gone but I was determine to prune my brunfelsia tree. Friday is one of two garbage pickup days in my neighborhood, and is going to take a couple of pick-ups to get rid of this tree. By the time I finished, I was working in total darkness (I need more lighting in the backyard)

Good work. It does get harder as the years pass doesn't it? I know my poor husband found the tree pruning that was necessary after Cyclone Yasi last year, extremely hard work. I think maybe next time we might consider getting professionals in!
I love your brunfelsia tree and your starburst tree too. Pruning is something I have a hard time with, as in not wanting to do it. I've learned though that it is much better for the plants than letting them get scraggly and leggy.
I love your header picture and the pics in your sidebar show that you have lovely garden areas.

wow, I did not know you need to trim that hard for brunfelsia tree. Do you do this every year? I have one, still a young bush.
Never say you're getting too old! Your yard, your home, your's!! I love being an arborist and I will never get tired of it, home improvement is something magical.

It seems like nothing could stop you from pruning your trees. Not even the dark! Haha! Anyway, I think leaving the task to the professionals doesn’t mean you’re old for the task; it’s just that the tree is very tall and it can be dangerous if you insist on climbing it.
