"I don't really want more seed slots, but I DO want a higher chance of the new seeds being the new variants. And that's not what I'm seeing."
I agree with MiaSkywalker. I think if the percentage of getting the newer trees were a little higher, perhaps many of the people here wouldn't be as discouraged as they are. I got all old variants too, but I don't want more seed slots - I find I barely have time for the ones I have. More slots would just take more of my time, and this is a very busy time of the year, at least for me.
Also, knowing where to go to get the versions of trees you want would be helpful too. As I understood it, the new ones were from the Wild Garden, but here someone says they got a new one by breeding.
One more thing - I would never complain about there being too many flowers/plants! Never! The more, the merrier!
