I have a bunch of tree seedlings popping up everywhere - oak, maple, sassafras, cherry, ash, pussy willow and a dozen other things.. I am so far just letting native plants do whatever, but is this a bad idea? Does it make sense to let many seedlings/saplings grow in close proximity to each other or in a place where it wouldn't make sense to eventually have a massive tree (and where they would need to be cut if they managed to get past a certain size). Or is there value in just having them around, regardless of their potential to become mature trees?
The above question is one of general home orchard interest (cherry), the double-period after "things" may be an indication of human typo input.
Tree seedlings popping up everywhere is an indication that all of those trees are already on your or adjacent properties, and this may be an annual event.
Long-term, they may create shade where it is not wanted.
What is the size of your property?
If these seedlings are 20 feet away from structures and existing gardened areas and other improvements such as sidewalks and driveways, then their value is to wildlife.
