So I don’t quite get your “grow on trees” analogy. They just grow on sheep instead, and require harvesting like they would from a tree, and require food and care like trees. And it’s not like you’re killing them off. So if anything, it’s almost exactly like “growing on trees”
Despite it’s German name Baumwolle, cotton doesn’t grow on trees, like e.g. Kapok does, but on annually cultivated plants which makes it faster to grow, scalable and easier to harvest.

Okay. Plants instead of trees. It was a false friend, thanks for pointing out. Striked tree out for good measure.
