snip, snip

The man pruning the town square wisteria with secateurs had help from two others in the cherry picker with chainsaws.
A few hours later half the wisteria has gone and the prunings put through the chipper.
The wisteria is getting a severe pruning because it is too big and heavy for the timber frame. It's been getting too big for years, it was too big in the winter when it had no leaves.

Not so shady now.
