Genuinely curious why automated post-planting irrigation hasn't taken off in reforestation the way maple operations run fixed tubing through forest terrain. Is it a cost problem, a terrain problem, a 'trees don't actually need it' problem, or something else entirely?

I'll be upfront — I had a midnight eureka moment about this and I want to reality-check it with people who actually know or study trees before I go any further. Not pitching anything, just trying to understand if the gap is real or if I'm missing something obvious. Hope to learn something! Thanks!
