Planting Trees

I believe that we should be able to plant trees. They are renewable in real-life, but why cant we grow trees for realism?

While I strongly suggest the idea, I think it should be pointed out that when it comes to growing trees, unless you got bambu or something similar, we are talking about growth time of tens, maybe even hundreds of years.

One thing worth mentioning might be that in some areas, planted and maintained trees can create a very nice and respectable view.

Imagine seeing hundred year old oaktrees on both sides of the road, paired together every 50 meters on the road. Things like this show value, heritage and stability. Having finely made tree gardens, with that are hundreds of years is a monument to the durability and stability of the area.
