Just make sure you plant native trees! The last thing we need is invasive species.

We've only got shitty monospecies forests where I live, due to commercial usage. I'm thinking, we could add an invasive species, as a treat. 🙃

Recommend reading "the secret life of trees" to learn about how important the diversity of forests is. The trees evolved to compete with each other, and as a result somewhat rely on the behaviors of old growth forests.

Really interesting book. Nonfiction.

Instructions unclear, open space has been taken over by tree of heaven and bamboo.

The arboretum near my house sells native plants for pretty cheap, I just bought a couple (although not the best time to be planting, but I put these in shaded areas and they're doing ok so far)
