Masterpiece
I have access to a few hundred sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) seedlings and saplings. I also have access to a few hundred red mulberry (Morus rubra) seedlings and saplings. Both grow as weeds here, sprouting from any little crevice where a seed can wedge itself. I'd like to collect material for a single-species forest planting this weekend, but I'm not sure which to focus on. I do not know whether I'll have time to go back and collect the other species later. Which would you pick? Even here on the forums, information on both species is relatively scarce, but as tolerant to abuse as they are in the ground, I'd imagine I'll see success in a pot.
