pruning Explanation: you're right! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2005-08-30 17:46:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- since it refers to a forestry company, it's done to increase the value of the lumber (fewer/smaller knots), but of course, there's also a trade-off (it's a labor-intensive process that must be done right or the trees actually get worse) Has nothing to do with surgery; that's when trees are diseased and something is cut out/off I am also a professional gardener, if that helps.
