Time to Trim the Palms

 

The palm trees at the building next door to me were looking a bit shaggy lately and sure enough, the tree trimming people arrived last week to clean them up.


It's always entertaining to watch these guys swing from tree to tree.

The team on the ground pick up all the fallen fronds and debris and feed them through the giant shredder.


The trees look so bare when they are all done but it won't take them long to fill out again.

Those men are real Alpine climbers, what a job!

I always like watching people work.

Nothing like a fresh haircut or tree trim to make things look clean

That's quite a job. I wonder what they did back in the days before modern safety harnesses and climbing gear? Maybe people just didn't prune their palm trees back then.

It's interesting watching these guys work. Climbing a tree to trim with a chainsaw is not something I would like to do.

That is amazing that they climb up there like that.

No problems with heights for them.

It looks like an action sequence on display. Look at the amount of gear he wears!

Gemel said...

Goodness, that is a bit of a mission!

That has to be a hot, dirty job.

Looks like he's doing a good job, I'd be too scared to be up there
