Re: Question About Natives

Jeff,

For you as a garden writer it is critically important that you define "your" terms (which you have).

I don't know ANYONE who would include your third or fourth generation, humanly-selected, unconnected to place and time, "improved" plant as a native. That's not unlike considering me, third generation, of diluted and mixed Sicilian blood, never-been-there, a "native" of Sicily. While I might like it to be true, it just ain't so (although I freely claim the heritage).
