Default tree points

I am working on some tree points and would like some feedback, if you
please.

To state that one of the essential "micro" elements, which come from the
soil, is "miner". Would be like stating the right fielder of a professional
baseball team is "miner". You get the point.



Understanding animals, specifically humans, burn glucose as an energy source
or food. And the fact that trees and plants also burn glucose as an energy
source or food, to claim that a product labeled "plant food" is food for a
tree would be the same as saying a bag of fertilizer is food for you.



Wetwood in trees is a niche.
