think the book you suggest is a good one for someone interested in
proper
pruning of a tree or other woody plant.
Uhhh, why would a "consulting arborist", as your signature identifies
you, ask such a question?

Obviously he is in dire need of learning how to prune.

Beware a so called tree biologist (consulting arborist) who has never
studied biology (or tree pruning).

Sounds like he has the background but still needs a job:

Seems like a simple example of education beyond capacity. Many people in
many fields can discuss the principles of their field at a professorial
level. But give them a tool and they go blank.

Three kind of people in the world. Thinkers, talkers, and doers.
