Growth Requirements

Light. Space. Air.
People and Pine Trees
Growth Requirements

Light. Space. Air. Hundreds of pine trees spring up uncultivated and untended in the patch of earth parallel to my street. Branches like tentacles reach to the sun while capturing the early morning moisture that sparkles like gems as it nourishes.

Such trees often cannot sprout in the tangled, tight undergrowth that lies at the feet of their parent pines. Wind and water likely moved these to their current home. These trees need light, space, and air to grow.

Light. Space. Air.
Also necessary for people to grow.
