Why?

I believe the reason that my tree is in its location is because someone planted it there. It was done purely for landscaping and not for any type of ecoysystem service. A person placed a seed to create this tree. This is known by the fact that when you look around the area, there are many of the same trees that are at the same distance from each other. Although it still provides the ecosystem services that it does, the services weren't the intention for why they were planted.
