Still doesn’t really work. Lots of tree planting involves shoving a sapling in the ground and walking away with no followup. That results in a bunch of dead saplings. Shotgun seeds would probably do the same.
I mean… Because you just uprooted a sapling, and put the damaged baby tree in the ground, away from parents and with an unfamiliar mycelial network, and hoped it would survive with zero manual intervention
There’s a whole ecosystem underground with so much going on we’ve barely begun to understand
if you see a baby sapling, don’t pick it up and transplant it somewhere else. its momma tree is probably around somewhere and waits for you to walk away

Transplanting and sowing are entirely different things.
