For The Neighbour

A week or two ago I saw one of my neighbours waiting near my gate as I walked home. As usual, he wanted to tell me that something in my garden was too big (it's the only reason he ever speaks to me). I wasn't sure which plant in particular was worrying him, but I had noticed that the lemon-scented teatree (Leptospermum petersonii) was sending a branch towards his house, so I think it was that one. That sounds like I wasn't listening but the problem really is that his accent is very strong and I understand very little of what he says.

So today, the branch was removed. I hope that means he won't have to talk to me again for a while. A couple of the callistemons are spreading past the fence line as well, but I want to wait until they finish flowering before pruning them.
