Teach monkeys to prune trees with secateurs

There are bonsai trees, dwarf trees and minatures. But once a tree gets over a few metres in height it becomes harder to prune and then continues to grow very tall.

So that we can enjoy itermediate height trees, small monkeys should be trained to operate secateurs. They could then prune trees far more easily than humans. So instead of needing ladders or platforms to reach the branches more than a couple of metres up, the monkeys could easily prune even the topmost branches and so limit their growth.

Mini-Arboretums and dwarf forests could then be created as a new form of art.
