Re: open pollinated vs wild collected


Detailed explanation will be posted on Tom Clothier's home page within a
few weeks.
In brief, if a species tends to self-pollinate, it is an inbreeder; if it
tends to cross-pollinate, it's an outbreeder.  The distinction facilitates
breeding and seed-saving practices.
