Drones fired "seed missiles" into the dirt. A year later, the trees are already 20 inches tall.
I don't know how related this is to seed balls or Team Trees, but yay! More trees!

According to Fedoranko, just two operators could send out a mini-fleet of seed missile planting drones that could plant 400,000 trees a day -- a number that quite possibly could make massive headway in combating the effects of manmade climate change.
The drones were designed by an ex-NASA engineer. And with a pressing need to reseed an area in Myanmar equal to the size of Rhode Island, the challenge is massive but suddenly within reach. Bremley Lyngdoh, founder and CEO of World Impact, says reseeding that area could theoretically house as many as 1 billion new trees.
"Obviously, planting a billion trees will take a long time without the help of drones," Lyngdoh told Fast Company.
But they've now got a powerful new ally in their corner. For context, it took the Worldview Foundation 7 years to plant 6 million trees in Myanmar. Now, with the help of the drones, they hope to plant another 4 million before the end of 2019.

What part of this was updated from 2019? Just the title?
