is the speedy tree growth a property of the soil, location, or of whatever we plant in there? if i plant a fruit do i get a tree that gives out instant growth seed versions of that fruit?

because if so i'd like to patent 1 day growth date seeds.

A giant panda. A plant sprouting large mammals would be a scientific marvel.

Rereading this, I guess you're right, it would have to be a living one.

The whim came to me as an idea to save the species. I guess it would be useless in and of itself without plenty of habitat.
