Extraction and growth are in tension.

If you have a thing that creates secondary benefits, then if it's growing, let it grow!

"How do we monetize this seedling" is the wrong question, especially if the thing is only useful strategically if it grows into an oak tree.

The fact it's sprouting is a miracle; trying to monetize it and over-extract is liable to kill the miracle before it gets strong enough to provide significant indirect value.

A annoyingly catchy song from The Lorax movie my 4 year old loves and that I've been forced to listen to more times than I can count: "Let it grow!"
