I’ve had this very thought. Unfortunately we don’t have many trams here so there are no grassy ones at all to work on.

Interesting article, thanks for sharing.

Did you find any? I didn’t this season. Was a dry spring and I have to drive to the mountains to hunt for them which I didn’t feel like doing.

Fucking splitters at it again.

There are tons and tons and tons of species that can do this. It’s not clear to me what the prevailing species concept is nowadays, if we’re even still following one.

Are you sure they weren’t spilled by accident?

True, but unfortunately, this species is way over-planted in many cities. I would not recommend them unless they happen to be uncommon in your local area. Urban forests need to be as diverse as possible to resist the constant barrage of pests and diseases being introduced by global trade.

In California we have a relatively new pest called shot-hole borers which are killing off many of the London planes, so we’re scrambling to plant other species that can resist them.

Also, resistance to air pollution isn’t as crucial as it once was due to better emissions technologies.

Your potted tree isn’t a tree in the sense that I’m talking about. The environmental services trees provide are all based on size and so are predominantly provided by larger trees. Cities usually avoid planting these under electrical wires and in smaller tree basins to avoid damage to infrastructure. So practically, there are many urban locations where big trees won’t fit.

Trees don’t attract VC funding the way some dumb new invention does.

I guess this could be useful in places trees don’t fit but I think there are other simpler solutions.

The amount of water required is trivial compared to most other water uses. Especially if correct species are selected.

Damn, just planting some lol I hope it won’t take that long for me.

Xerces is dope as hell.

Wow looks a lot better than mine.

I mean the obvious answer is to smell and then eat them. That’s what I do.

This creature’s air tastes of sweat and milk. Disgusting.

Most neighborhoods have HOAs nowadays. It can be hard to avoid.

I guess I forgot to say it needs to fit in the package lol. I know it’s possible in extreme environments but can you create such an environment in this package is the question.

Could you create a device that would compress some substance to the extent it would reach this weight or is that impossible?

Finally, my moment has come.

But also, I love this guy:

There has been a lot of serious political analysis done about the connection between human domination of each other and human domination over nature. I agree with the thesis that these are interrelated, but that doesn’t mean everyone who adopts these ideas or practices is a fascist.
