Hello everyone,
I haven't been able to find out if this topic has already been discussed, but I think it's an interesting idea to make the shears more useful by adding a system for maintaining berry bushes and fruit trees.
Pruning is currently (unless I'm mistaken) only cosmetic, but regular maintenance could increase the yield of berries/fruit, either in terms of quantity or growth rate.
In practice, pruning allows the tree to focus its energy on a reasonable number of fruits, which will grow larger and develop more flavor. It also improves aeration and sunlight exposure within the crown: each fruit receives more light, ripens better, and develops its aromas.
In short, it adds yield levels that can be increased by pruning regularly.
