bravely allowed RG to wield the axe, whilst I parted the remaining
two sections of plant. RG hacked (surprisingly accurately!) down
the middle of the plant for several axe blows. The crown of the
plant parted slightly. It took many more energetic blows before it
finally fell in two. I checked: I still had 8 fingers, 2 thumbs.
At this point, RG took a couple of photographs on his phone camera,
which I shall ask him to add to this thread.

Good grief. URG has its own version of Wilhemina Tell!! ;-)) Well
done, Spider, this sounds a helluva task.

Whereas I am totally stunned!!!

g It was a fair old job :~). Fortunately, it was performed in
God's Own County,

Yorkshire??? Mine own place)


Indeed. My father even had dust on his wallet, to prove it!! :~)



so let's hope he's looking after the plant now.

How dare he not, after all that effort!!!
