Of course, because of the ice-hole trees' growth speed, the appearance of flower buds meant that we had only a few hours before the seeds would appear.
Many trees and grasses needed pollinators to carry their pollen from a flower to a flower, but there were plenty of those that could transfer their pollen with wind alone.
I even knew about flowers that could fertilise themselves… It was suboptimal, since the produced seeds will be mere clones, a product of absolute incest, but in some situations, it was necessary for survival.
Snails could do a similar thing… Even bees could've evolved it if I went this route.
I didn't know if even the ice-hole trees' pollen and seeds would suck the warmth out of their surroundings, but I was going to prepare for the worst possibility.
"Father, we need a plan of action!" Workharder exclaimed. "What if we fly high above and sprinkle acid over the trees to hit their flower buds?"
