    If the land is maintained they just end up getting cut, if it’s not maintained then nature will do its thing or taking saplings from a nearby forest works great, they risk dying unless the bigger trees die first so it gives them space to grow instead.

      Baby trees rely on the shade of their parents (or rather older established trees. It takes a village…) to regulate growth. If they get too much sun and grow too fast, they grow up weak.
