    It’s because that’s their breeding cycle. 2-4 years.

        At one point I looked into trying to code something to automatically strip shit like that from titles but there are too many permutations of it.

      the cycle is actually matched to the masting of the prodocarp Rimu (calling out @[email protected] )

      Well it probably matched to the spring growth tips of Rimu that generate the fruit
