In my neck of the woods literally, there have been 2 natural thinning out procedural networks for the must haves and the have nots.
I . Every ground critter in the county has enjoyed the acres of salad bars set up just for their enjoyment. Naturally sorting out the florals vs the trees and shrubs in the garden.
2 . The climate change has introduced a summer so hot I have had to change garden ‘Wants’ to ‘Only’ needs.
Water is a precious commodity where I live. My water well is 250’ deep and in summer the water table drops. Less water available to feed those thirsty garden plants. During the exploding summers temps is extremely hot and in the 3 digits . The shade trees and shrubs have become the masters at keeping the home cool . Since the electricity has been turned off occasionally, the trees and shrubs have been instrumental in cooling the house not requiring the use of air conditioning.
When trees cool homes, this process is called evapotranspiration refers to the release of water vapor from tree leaves, which absorbs heat from the surrounding air, creating a cooling effect. Works great .
