Sure tall fighting for sunlight there.
Have it here too. Some old ones. Well not that old but following logging era or just succession of types.
The scrub oaks came up crowded and never managed. Giant stalks now and blocking the sun from the forest floor under thier umbrella canopy. Outside of the odd acorn year (been awhile) there's little browse to be found except a small parcel logged two years ago. Or the neighbors landscaping.
Edge of woods around houses gets enough sun for saplings,,
Slash that burned had a flush of second growth and what was resting in the soils seed bank plus surviving roots second growth came up dense.
Then after a hundred years give or take holes cut for houses.
