Lalandi pines ... before and after

 

We got a team of tree-fellers in to cut down a patch of 80 year old Lalandi pines obscuring the view of the valley.

It's made the world of difference.

The change has opened up the vista and created a whole new feel for Ellesmere's garden.

It's let light and air through to our other trees and given us a true sense of being on a hilltop.

The early morning sun now comes streaming in, bathing the south side of the house.

We plan to engage the same team next year to fell the remaining Lalandi on the eastern side of the house.
