RE: TIL that squirrels plant thousands of trees per year simply by forgetting where they hid their nuts!

in #til8 years ago (edited)

I would be interested in knowing how many of the trees planted actually grow into trees? Maybe you have already done the research? I would almost imagine that most of the saplings would be killed off by chemicals and developments. Not to mention erosion and natural disasters.

EDIT: I really enjoyed reading the article and the point of view and information is entertaining and interesting. Thank You.

From my readings, I think that thousands do grow into trees each year in the United States alone.... and that includes the ones that never make it passed saplings. Amazing huh?! :)

Dude that is awesome! Even with only thousands that is still a few hundred in every state! Woohoo go squirrels!

Changing the world one nut at a time! :)
