A homeowner in Toledo told me I was 'giving the tree a haircut' and it made me rethink my pruning explanation

Wait, they said you were "giving the tree a haircut"? That's the most perfect way to put it, I'm honestly shocked I've never heard that before. It makes total sense to people who don't know the word "pruning." I'm stealing that line for sure, it's way better than my usual confusing explanation.

Actually that phrasing kind of bothers me. It makes it sound like a simple beauty treatment, not real tree care. People might not take the work seriously.
