Please don't generalize about us.
someone taht has nurseries has expenses and loss and do not get
millionaire I gues.. so :-) do not get nervous

As the mother feed is the best for a baby, likewise mother earth (natural

soil) is the best food source for a plant. Highly infected, infested and
polluted soil will not support plant life.


If the mother is HIV Positive it is not good for the baby and there is
no way to clean it up.
we are going OT it is not a reasonable example ..
it is true that as seeds let by themselves only stronger ones will
survive and make strong plants and the othesr wilt and die
if you seed 1000 seeds to graft in future or cuttings you prefer
to take precautions to loose very little or none of tehm and this is
bad for the quality you'll will get especially with seedlings



But, as someone said, I am not willing to take the change with a plant
I paid good money for.

maybe I misunderstood ,
what do you prefer a nice new strong well breed selected and more
expensive viable tree or a nice looking tree that is doped to look
healthy and die in few months later ?
quality will remain even if when you will have forgot the price you paid

for plants you'll see within months if they are fine with you .. and
if they die is your fault.. or maybe was the nursery's fault as the
plant was articially kept healthy... and is exausted as forced to look
fine?..
we could discuss endlessly
but quality has always a price !
