Is this ethical?

I'd drop them a friendly email saying that you've been growing these for years and wonder if they're aware that they don't come true from seed. It may be genuine ignorance on their part, or it may be a deliberate attempt to mislead but either way, they'll see that it's been picked up. If you or a member of your family, have a Twitter or Fb account you could also issue a warning there, without naming the sellers, of course but just stating you've seen this ad and that the plants cannot be grown from seed and turn out to be what is claimed for them. Hi Sacha, My plan is to send them an email. I just thought it interesting to garner some reactions to this misleading and widespread practice. Many people would improperly label their seedling as Osakasuki, and perhaps even propagate it as such... -- Gardening in Lower Normandy |
