    A discussion...

    [ QUOTE ] Nature is messy and chaotic. I don't subscribe to "mother nature knows best". Our environment is an ongoing experiment in survival. Left alone trees on an individual basis are not necessarily the best judge of their own needs. Take a walk through a forest to see just how many...
