Ouch. And they’re okay with that? Why not just castrate them?

Doesn’t bother them much after the initial shock,
and it’s less messy & prone to infection than a knife.
They just shrivel up and drop off.

We had one of those “lilac trees” in the backyard of my old house. It must have been about 9 feet tall and 12 feet diameter. I’m not sure how old it was, but the house was a Victorian built in 1889 and I think a lot of the landscaping was very old, because even the grass was different than the grass in the rest of the neighborhood, and the elm out front was one of the biggest in the area. That bush grew so big that I had to chop about 2-3 feet off one side every year, or it would have overgrown the path to the gate.

Flowering plants really started to become wide spread around Cretaceous period over a 100 million years ago. which is also the time when CO2 was dropping from 3000 PPM to what it is today.
It is important the cause and effect. Flowering plants create extra carbon. They need the extra carbon for the lower CO2 levels in the Atmosphere that we have today.
