Branch pruning
I don’t normally do a lot of gardening. This occasion was to assist my parent. This otherwise would’ve taken them a lot of time and potentially injure themselves. At the same time, I am using questionable methods that could injure myself. DO NOT TRY AT HOME! What worked for me will NOT always work for you.
The initial area to prune
Some pruning #1
The tool i'm using to prune (mini reciprocating saw)
Some pruning #2
The progress (about half way)
More of the tool used to prune
Dealing with the leaves on the branches in a smart but skeptical method. Having a cordless hedge trimmer running whilst gently holding the branch and pushing it near the blades (PLEASE DO NOT COPY, DONE AT OWN RISK)
The leaves off the branches
A smart and even more inherently dangerous way of breaking down the branches. I took great care in feeding the wood into the saw. (PLEASE DO NOT COPY, DONE AT OWN RISK)
