For me, planting soft landings under existing municipal trees is far more advantageous for the local ecosystem, and the blooms can often prevent the threat of removal. Native seed bombs or even just an evening of some light raking in of seeds can vastly improve the ecosystem function of the tree.
Awesome resource :) I've been looking into soft landings too! Nearby me, there's a corp owned commercial lot that's been vacant for years, bare-bones maintenance. The street trees out front are Callery pear, which I can't do anything about, but the ground under them isn't tended.
There's also two very sad trees in the middle of the parking lot and one empty tree well (which recently inspired me to rewatch this video lol).
Gross, but a chance to practice some grafting maybe 😁
Did you know they're edible? I found out from this video last week, but it seems like a lot of work.
I had no idea, thank you!
