You're welcome. Maydays are indeed a detriment to native alaskan tree survival, similarly to how me accidentally inhaling a gnat during a bike ride on chester creek trail is a detriment to my survival. Speaking of chester creek trail, how many mature maydays per alaskan trees do you think there are there? 1 in 300? That's in the heart of anchorage with half century or more to compete for dominance. SoulD be plenty of time for an invasive species to take over right? Just look at the pythons in Florida. Maydays simply can't grow tall enough to compete with alaskan trees. It's like trying to pit male and female olympic sprinters against each other. The females are great, but they don't stand a chance because males are naturally stronger and faster. Starting to understand yet? I can break it down further if you need.
