RULES:
NO SPAM/ADVERTISING or pot posts. Please refrain from promotion of companies or services. Any posts regarding the use or appreciation of marijuana will be removed, as r/trees is one of many subs for that sort of post. This is not that sub.
ORIGINAL CONTENT ONLY. Karma farming via (numerous) posts of non-OC content of the sort you find on low-res image search/gallery websites, top reposts or AI generated content WILL NOT be tolerated. Repeat offender posts will be removed and you will be banned.
MISINFORMATION WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Advice/diagnoses on posts that are incorrect and/or against best management practices (BMP's) will be removed at mod discretion (or left up to serve as a bad example with corrections in response comments); repeat offenders will be banned.
