Yeah pretty much just using a saw to cut branches at their base until there's one nice vertical one and strongly attached lateral ones. Easily understood in the space of... 30 seconds-ish?
Not at all defending this ridiculous blanket, but I think you're conflating "tree trimmer" with "arborist," and they're not the same. Tree trimming is also slightly more complicated than that, if you enjoy keeping your skull intact.
That also depends on the municipality. I'm going for my ISA certification and I'm on the scientific side of arboriculture where phytopathology/entomology/physics are all advanced elements requiring more than just that certification. But here every single person who works on a tree needs to be an ISA arborist. Even the shittiest tree trimmers are either certified or are hired with the possibility of certification in like 6mo, and the only professional difference between them and I is that I'm testing for climbing/risk assessment/municipal specialist certs which make me a more expensive arborist.
Ohhhhhhhhh 🤦 didn't realize you were shitting on your own occupation, sorry about that
They also treat diseases via chemicals or by realising insects.
