So that previously healthy tree, which took a decade or more to reach that height, gets to die for a gimmick.
All Christmas trees get to die for a gimmick. What do you think the tree farms are for?
Yeah, fair point. I guess the "before" pic looked enough like a forest that this just really bummed me out.
I guarantee you that's a tree farm. I'd gladly be proved wrong
The uniform height, spacing, and lush branches are a key clue. I wish I took pictures on my last trip so I could show you what I'm talking about, but I was traveling through a place undergoing logging. In the forest, like you're thinking, the lower branches are dead because the crowns are crowding out the light. In the understory, lower light plants thrive, ones who can't really take full sun all day
I say this to hopefully assuage your feelings about the picture. The tree did what it was meant to do, and in a spectacular way
Thanks! Your comment did help. Being an environmentalist is a special kind of torture. The idea that the climate change our species created is eventually going to wipe us out is actually kind of comforting. Earth will bounce back in a few million years and there will be almost zero evidence we were here at all. It's genuinely a nice thought.
