Patrick Cooke, who spends two weeks trimming 12, 30ft high yew tree pyramids at Athelhampton House, Dorset, Britain - 04 Oct 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Geoff Moore / Rex Features (1906412l)
Yew Must Be Kidding!
When it comes to chores in the garden clipping hedges can be one of those backbreaking jobs gardeners would rather put off.
However, Patrick Cooke doesn't have that luxury and his precision hedge trimming takes him a whopping two weeks to complete.
The feat involves cutting 12 huge 30 foot high Yew pyramids at his stately home at Athelhampton in Dorset.
The labour intensive task sees him spending literally days climbing up and up down a ladder.
However, he takes on the annual challenge in the knowledge that the trees have been in place for 120 years and it's now his responsibility to keep them alive.
It's a job that his father Sir Robert took on until he died in 1987 and Patrick has been happy to continue to do his part.
Planted back in Victorian times, the yews have now grown so high that even the modern ladder he uses is starting to be a little too short for the task.
Patrick said; "The trees are such a key part of the garden and it's a really important job so I have to clear space in my diary every year making sure the task is done correctly by keeping their shape and any vigorous growth in check.
"The one thing you must have is a really good head for heights, wielding a power trimmer 30 foot up you have to be confident and sure in what you are doing.
"Over the past 40 years they have doubled in size and the ladder is just about long enough for the task at present".
He added: "The only way they can be trimmed is to gently lean the ladder against them and climb to the very top to cut them into shape. As well as this mechanical trim in Autumn they are hand pruned again in May, ready for the summer season.
"It is a generational responsibility as they are 120 years old and I want to see them looking perfect all of the time.
"Nesting birds can and do cause problem...

It's a job that his father Sir Robert took on until he died in 1987 and Patrick has been happy to continue to do his part.
Planted back in Victorian times, the yews have now grown so high that even the modern ladder he uses is starting to be a little too short for the task.
Patrick said; "The trees are such a key part of the garden and it's a really important job so I have to clear space in my diary every year making sure the task is done correctly by keeping their shape and any vigorous growth in check.
"The one thing you must have is a really good head for heights, wielding a power trimmer 30 foot up you have to be confident and sure in what you are doing.
"Over the past 40 years they have doubled in size and the ladder is just about long enough for the task at present".

"Nesting birds can and do cause problem...

Yew Must Be Kidding!
When it comes to chores in the garden clipping hedges can be one of those backbreaking jobs gardeners would rather put off.
However, Patrick Cooke doesn't have that luxury and his precision hedge trimming takes him a whopping two weeks to complete.
The feat involves cutting 12 huge 30 foot high Yew pyramids at his stately home at Athelhampton in Dorset.
The labour intensive task sees him spending literally days climbing up and up down a ladder.
However, he takes on the annual challenge in the knowledge that the trees have been in place for 120 years and it's now his responsibility to keep them alive.
