Tree surgeon -one in the hand...

I struck gold today! Our Magnolia tree was in need of a good trim and it's been difficult to get anyone out to give us a decent quote. By chance I spotted three men in the garden a few doors down 'performing' some tree surgery -so I pounced as they were packing up. 30 mins later and £80 lighter we have a bonsai tree where the Magnolia used to stand tall. Result?!
