Due to active seed dispersal,you can see the so called "of spring " of this mother pine in picture number 4. There are many such offsprings under and around the tree . They grow at a rate of 4 to 5 ft a year. Local landscaping maintanence will of course take care of it. i am wondering though how this would work out in a totally forest like scenario. Trees growing thru trees. Would probably result in stunting of growth, trees bending in all directions,over crowding etc etc.
