Could it be that younger trees (and growth) are simply growing into where light is more available? Where their "buddies" aren't? Wouldn't this explain "shared"

Could it be that younger trees (and growth) are simply growing into where light is more available? Where their "buddies" aren't? Wouldn't this explain "shared" space and even thicker branches pointing away from where existing trees block the sun.
- has2k1 11y agoIf isolated trees of these species do not have these space creating directional tendencies, then in a group the trees are not just "growing into available space". I haven't read the book but I think you can investigate this to affirm or rule out plain affinity for sunlight during growth.
