Mnemonic

Currently, you want to prune your greatest treasure: your car (か). Your car is made of wood, and it keeps trying to grow new buds and branches, so you have to prune them off.

Hints

You want your car to be small and sleek, not a giant truck, so you have to carefully prune it when it grows too much.
