Hanulli vs. Tree

Hanulli fought against a tree in our garden. It was a relatively tough fight; Hanulli had to use different saws and pruning shears. Finally the tree gave up.
Not that we wanted the tree to lose. We are quite reluctant with cutting trees. Especially when they constitute a welcome privacy screen (our neighbour's bath room window is right in view of our balcony and vice versa). But this same neighbour was complaining about branches growing over their property, sometimes dropping leaves. And perhaps a storm might eventually damage their house (US-American style, very thin walls, no bricks or concrete).
