I'm curious about the idea of growing specialized tree seedlings indoors not just for profit, but also to contribute to fighting climate change. If you were presented with a tree seed that could earn you money while having a positive environmental impact, would you invest in it? I'd love your honest feedback! This is actually for my college research project.

I have some concerns though. What impact will these plants have on local ecosystems? How do you ensure they won't become invasive once planted at tree farms? Plus, what kind of soil do they require?
Sure, why not? If it can make a profit and isn't going to take up a ton of space forever, I’d definitely be interested. Just wonder if there are specific growth or maintenance tips you’ll provide since I don’t want it to become a burden.
Absolutely! The seedlings are meant to be grown to a certain height and then sent off to larger farms. I'm glad you’re open to it!
I think the idea is good, but I would need more details. What type of trees are you considering? Are they invasive species? I’m hesitant to grow anything that might cause ecological issues if planted outside later. Knowing if they're species appropriate for my area is crucial.
That's a fair point! The plan is to provide options that are native and non-invasive. Before committing, you'd get detailed info on each seed and its growing requirements. It's designed so experienced growers can confidently participate.
Great question! We always prioritize using native species tailored to their specific regions. The farms are typically in areas needing restoration. Plus, we choose local soil for optimal growth without disrupting natural ecosystems.
