Last week, I visited a tree nursery to buy various seedlings to plant in my rural land that has been lying idle for a while. A gardener was assigned to take me round the nursery pointing out the various trees that would do well in my area, their maturity time and economic benefits.
After a while she realised I had a bias towards trees that took shorter time to mature irrespective of expected benefits. She tried to convince me to plant trees that took long to mature.
