That weird, because all of our farmed crops and animals are selectively breed, which means planned evolution (usually, but I guess some ancient examples were purely accidental). Evolution is just the process of selection to perpetuate offspring. It being planned or unplanned doesn’t matter. Creationism is just not talking about evolution at all usually.

yeah, you’re right, but, i guess i’ve chosen my words poorly, as you’re arguing not about what i had in mind.
OP asked about the end purpose of ihe reproductive mecanism of said tree going so complex, it can no longer reproduce, wether it did that, so we would reproduce the the tree ourselves instead. They obviously said that half jokingly, but i still was trigerred.

plan and evolution together feels eugenics-y, yeah that makes me unhappy too

tbf, if we extrapolate ad absurdum, not reproducing with the first mature enough person we meet, and rather chosing partner based of arbitrary traits we wanna see in our kids already sounds eugenic-y
i was talking more so about a hlant doing adaptaition “with purpose in mind”
