Planting trees is not trivial. Nor a green-ish solution.
1. What to plant is important as not all places/soils are the same.
2. Are you also thinking about maintenance (watering and pruning included)?
3. Are you also thinking about environmental compatibility with existing fauna and flora?
Planting trees is not trivial!

- JR1427 3y agoI don't think the author suggested that planting trees is trivial. It might not be trivial, but it absolutely can be done. I think you are correct, though, that we want to avoid planting trees for the sake of it, and ending up with areas with inappropriate species devoid of much life.
- Faaak 3y agoWell, your list is not exactly complicated.. I've planted around ~300 trees in a 4-year long restoration project. Selecting native species needs to be done, but that's not that complicated (either by asking organizations, or by reading the recomended list by the state/country/whatever). Maintenance is low. Sure, don't plant trees that need water every day, but that's it. Irrigate them every week the first year. Pruning ? But they're not fruit trees ?
