Re: new jersey tea

Quite the opposite. Ted Sperry studied individual New Jersey tea 
plants for 60 years at Curtis Prairie in Wisconsin. The original 
plants persisted throughout the study but exhibited almost no 
reproduction during the entire period. Their natural reproruction and 
dispersal are somewhat mysterious, but suffice it to say, they are 
considered a natural component of high quality prairie remnants, 
and are not aggressive.
