Nature. Defenses against encroachment. Sassafras, Ginkgo

By Dint:

Sassafras

Allelopathy as a Defense, and Offense.
Learn from sassafras: Some plants prevent others from thriving in their shadow; make potential diners on their root, bark, leaf, sicken. Allelopathy.

Why did the Sassafras Survive - usefulness, fits the food chain, venerated
Its allelopathy enabled it to survive, fill gaps in the food chain. Allelopathy prevents omni-greed; allelopathy is contained.

Ginkgo

Ginkgo in Japan and Korea.
The ginkgo survived at Hiroshima. See Ginkgo, Plant with History.   Is it resistant to radioactivity. Some say it speaks.

Ginkgo, Male or Female. Know Which.
Pick before you plant, lest the fruits overwhelm.
