Drunk-pruning. Don’t. It’s - not working as well as you think it is.

Oh Dear. Make sure they sew your fingers back on the right way around. It'd be awkward if they all bent the other way.

Oh no - it’s not that. It’s just that the bay tree in my veggie patch looks a bit - phallic. It’s because I’m short. I’ll see if I can catch a passing rabbi to sort it out...

It’s just because I was a bit drunk. You can be drunk, you can be short or you can prune. But apparently you can’t do all of them.

Like Albedo, my first thought was for your fingers, then for your eyes.
The tree will grow back. There is a saying 'to flourish like a green bay tree'.
When I think of a 'phallic' tree, I think tall and skinny, like a cypress.
What did you do to this tree - cut off all the branches except a little flourish on the top? Or just narrow it generally?
In any case, if the look of it worries you, it's Christmas down there, as well, isn't it? Buy a long length of nice-looking garland, and wrap the tree like a green candy cane - at least it will look like you intended to be decorative. Or, that you've been drinking.:ROFL:
