Bug Description
The forester is really stupid. He plants trees on hopeless terrains, like steppe_kahl, where any kind of tree will usually just die.
It might be a good idea to replace a tiny tree with a new one of another species that is more likely to grow well on that terrain. But if the tiny tree is already of the best species for that location, it should not be replaced.
The best location and the best tree for that location should be chosen. Some more knowledge than just how well the tree thrives on the location might be needed, such as how long it would take for the tree to become usable and the probability that it will survive to that stage. Other things to consider would be how long the tree is likely to be harvestable before it dies.

The forester also plants trees in established farm fields, destroying the field in the process.
