    This was our "dwarf" conifer we planted on top of the rockery in 1987.
    It's the one nearest the lamp, we moved it and eventually binned the others.

    Over the years it grew until it reached close to 40ft tall this year.

    Today it came down.

    I got them to reduce it to this height.
    The alternative would have been an ugly stump.

    The outer branches will continue to grow but I won't let them grow any higher than the fence.

    I'll train that Euonymus shrub to carry on growing round it.
