How many survived? Were they all one species or was it a polyculture?

No clue about the living.but ive done this multiple times. I know that at least twice it was a mix of native trees where woods existed that were cut down for farms.but they wanted to go back

A couple of times when I was a kid, but I'm 99% sure they met a quick death by lawnmower before they had a chance to grow very large.

Trees are kinda big and there's not much room in the suburban area where I live. I've planted moderately big plants like sunflowers and shrubs though.

I think shrubs are small trees.

i think shrubs or bushes are different from small trees in habit and appearance, though some are more conducive to arborist training. i'm sure many trees have a maximum growth-height of under ten feet, some are called "dwarf." a fellow plant-enchanted person and teacher yesterday recommended me a reference-guide book; Right Plant, Right Place. I just scrolled it on Amazon , looks worthwhile

I started growing trees just to guerilla plant them somewhere where they hopefully won't land under the lawnmower, or to just give them to people who are still open about planting a tree in their garden. I really have a strong urge to plant as many trees as possible.

So. Many. In the driest soil possible it seemed. Had a (thankfully paid) internship at an environmental/marine bio non-profit and did the Million Trees LA thing. Imagine a bunch of nerds going door to door in the hood, asking if people want a tree.
