There are, however, a few species of tree that couldn’t care less about the forest’s comforts and social interactions and prefer to strike out on their own. These are the so-called pioneer tree species (that sounds much better), which like to grow up as far away from their mothers as they can. Accordingly, their seeds are capable of flying long distances. They are very small and padded or equipped with tiny wings so that powerful storms can carry them for miles. Their goal is to land outside the forest, where they can colonize new areas.
