Oh well it does make sense. I mean I don’t know how are arborist classes, but I studied horticulture focused on food production and lots of the learning was about keeping plants healthy and productive and I’ve seen my fair share of right vs wrong way of trimming. I’ve seen so many botched jobs on hedges or bushes where people basically just kill branches by over cutting, so I understand the goal. Still could’ve given the same information without having you cut a shit ton of them.

Lol. This is absurd, like they’re great cutters if you have to prune a ton of trees/plants for grafting or selective branches cleaning and yeah sometimes it’s the right tool and you’ll have to use it a ton to the point it gets painful, it’s manual labour after all, but trimming bush with a stringline is just ridiculous. Hopefully the goal of the exercise was to teach you what was the desired most precise result so that you can pick up pace later and use an electric edge trimmer or something.
