Yes, it is possible!
Moshe Alamaro, an engineer from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has been carrying out a project which consists in dropping from airplanes or balloons small packed trees with water and fertilizers.
When they reach the ground (at a speed of 140 miles per hour!) they penetrate the soil.
The break of the biodegradable containers allows the plants to root easily and freely.
