Isn’t it like: the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The next best time...

Though I never understood why 19 years ago wouldn’t be the second best…

Because you didn't think of it then.

You thought of it 20 years ago and didn't do it, and you're considering it again now.

Instead of telling yourself it is too late to do it now, just go for it, so that in 20 years more you will be happy you planted this tree.

Also some people like their children and grandchildren to enjoy some fruit trees.

(Even if they are just "family" in the broader sense and not their own)

Because the statement is meant to motivate the reader.

That would make today the worst day to plant a tree?

The worst so far, and the best when compared to all of your remaining days.

Yes that’s it, thank you. I’ll admit I was too lazy to look the exact one up.
