Justin Snyder:
Bob, I think the (experts) are just trying to make us even more confused about if we are dealing with the same trees as others are talking about. ;D Justin
Hillbilly:
Yeah, I love all the recent taxonomical changes-splitting genuses, splitting and changing families, and changing species names. It was enough fun learning the Latin names for plants the first time, much less changing them every few years.
Justin Snyder:
Job security for the guys that do the naming. Justin
jkekoni:
We have DNA tests today.
So we will put plants in the taxons based on facts, not opinions like before.
(Am I correct in this one?).
BTW. It is legal to dry the wood regardless of its taxon. :o
No It is not the experts who are trying to confuse. They are trying to make order.
It is the markiting people who invent misleading (Lemonwood ), ambigious ( Mountain ash) and plain wrong trade names (Sapele Mahogany and Brazilian wahlnut).
