I had a huge Magnolia tree in my backyard. My backyard is not that big. But after I cut it down, the silence was deafening. It was very sad. The tree was too big for my small yard and it was dropping leaves like crazy. Every other day I had to go pick up like three trash cans of leaves.
poor tree

Careful. Muskrat might read this and think it’s a good idea to try to waste loads of CO2 emissions manufacturing synthetic trees
And they're spread by forgetful squirrels.
I heard that every five years oak trees produce WAY more acorns so that even if squirrels get them all every year, the fifth year they won't be able to.
Not to make this sound less cool but you forgot to mention the speed.
That being said, there are some ridiculously fast growing plants on this planet.
You can make a thin layer of anything on anything, not impressive

Fixed, thanks
I see God in it all. I don't believe all these "hi-tech features" would ever come about with random mutations causing an advantage from time to time. It's just too awesome imo. Oxygen, beauty, exuberant life, building materials... Water is equally miraculous imo. There's so much more!
I am simply "representing" my POV. I already know lots of people don't like anything religious, but if atheists can openly be themselves, doesn't everybody else have the same right? So, that's all this is. Just like Richard Dawkins and Keanu Reeves, I'm not interested in debate. I'm just representing.
