Well, does it?

Found this post on IG and I'm wondering what this community's stance is. With winter now officially here*, I think it's a valid question.
Edit: *where I live
I just realized there is an entire continent where there are no trees, and thus no sticks.
And it isnt a small continent either. it is larger than all of Europe and also larger than Australia. We arent talking about an island or archipelago or even some random landlocked desert. It is a continent.
the fact that there are no sticks that naturally occur there at all... it confuses and concerns me.
This is deeply unsettling to me.
Don't worry, flowers are starting to bloom more and more on Antarctica.
Soon, trees will start to grow so even that continent has sticks!
Wait ... that is even a bigger concern to worry.
When humanity has to move to the poles to survive, I'd rather have trees than not.
Coastal Norway is also pretty warm in this sense, but there aren't any trees far north. I suspect there's more than just warmth they want
Warmth and daylight would be the limiting factors. But there have been trees much further north than the current boreal zone in the past, e.g. https://www.gi.alaska.edu/alaska-science-forum/farthest-north-fossils
