Before and after.

(Getting the rental house next door ready to be sold, involving a new fence to reestablish boundaries between our garden and its, and removing the apple tree that fell into the rental house's garden a few years ago. After it fell, I cut off all the branches I could get through with a hand-saw, but it clearly still had a well-connected root system and started sprouting new branches and growing apples before we could get anyone in to take the trunk away, so it came to be something of a feature. But sadly it Just Won't Do if the place is to sell with a decent amount of garden, so unfortunately it had to be cut up and fed through the shredder this weekend. 🙁)
