I planted several new shrubs and small trees to be an understory under some large and well established trees. The existing large trees are large and well established oak, maple, hickory, and american elm. These large trees suck up all the water in the area and the new trees and shrubs have a difficult time getting established.
The question is, if rooting hormone is applied to newly planted trees and shrubs: is it going to help them, or does this encourage the established tress to invade the area of the new ones? Is it beneficial or harmful in this scenario?

My girlfriend sent me this picture because she suspected it was AI, and it seems very clearly AI generated to me.

My explanation was that (to my knowledge) the organic tissue of a petal is relatively quite simple, and although multicolored petals exist in nature, generally you don’t see petals with a wide variety of patterns, nor would the patterns be so cellular in nature because the cells are about 1/1000th of the cell-looking patterns of the petal ..read more
