Re: Here's what happens if you don't remove pups
It would be interesting to take a soil sample and see what's left of it. Then add fertilizer and note the changes in growth and harvest. I could never have a mat like that.

at the cellular level. The tree doesnt have teeth so it has to move the food and nutrients from the roots through the trunk(osmosis) to supply the chemical and cellular processes (that occur in the mitochondria for the ATP and glucose producing cycle) that builds upward growth of the tree. In terms of slowing down, I would imagine the decrease in the respiration/evaporation of water through the leaves and decrease of sunlight/energy/heat required in the plant ATP cycle. |
