True, but the planting of spruce and pine trees in areas that were deforested has created these huge monoculture “forests” that struggle to get the deciduous trees.

This is a fun comic because it tells two stories.

The old oak may have remembered the forest as it was and begrudge the evergreen new growth …. But that is a sign it’s regrowing.

Alternately … yeah, the monoculture replanting for forests is not great for the environment and helps to spread diseases.

Racist grandpa tree got a point but also … can’t see the forest for the trees.
