[quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous]The “native” plant trend is so weird, like people who are anti-GMO. What is native? When did we start the clock on when something had to be here to be native? What distance from your location defines native? What do we do about filling gaps because “native” varieties simply can’t grow anymore (elms, ash, etc). I’ve seen people say things are native to Maryland but not to Pennsylvania- do plants respect borders? I am strongly anti-invasive. Invasive plants often bring invasive bugs, diseases, etc and even invasive vertebrates sometimes. They reduce biodiversity by crowding out many other plants. Invasives are the enemy. “Native” is just virtue signaling for gardeners. [/quote] Wanting to plant native is not virtue signaling. Becoming adamant about it and insisting that anything non native is terrible and making it to a moral stance - that’s virtue signaling. [/quote]
