This is awesome. Are we best friends now? I have a background in plant tissue culture, especially micropropagation of woody species. I don't do that professionally anymore, mostly because I have other skills that the job market likes better. However, I always have a propagation experiment of some kind going.

I think you are doing great work and your vision is very clear-eyed. Even from a grubby capitalist perspective, tree nurseries are a good future-proof business because climate changes are going to necessitate a lot of re-planting. It's that kind of local knowledge you are making that if more widespread will help us develop the resilience to maybe, just maybe, get through the next couple of centuries.
