So interesting. We have brambles on ‘steroids’ due to fertiliser run off from fields above. These can literally swamp young trees and no young trees have established in the large areas of bramble we have here.
Over 25 years ago started planting seed gathered from our existing mature trees and hedges into mole hills around the edges of our fields with great success. Now do it with wild flower seed. It’s addictive 😃

Thank you for a fascinating article. It’s filled in a big gap in my knowledge.
