Last one: Tree-Mail is our private messaging system. You know how to send a person a tree-mail but did you know that you can send tree-mails to multiple recipients? Doing so creates a private group conversation that all the recipients can see. It's like instantly creating a private forum for a handful of friends.

One of the best aspects of 'All things Plants' is the shared creativity and plant knowledge we all offer together as a whole. I still would think that the less tree-mails are used as a way for 2 or more 'club' members to segregate themselves into specialized mini groups with 'an understanding' of each other, and hopefully not fantasy gossip about things we don't really know about regarding others lives;........would be a Good Thing.
Unlikely but still a good thing...
This would not be typical for me.
We all have differences, yet its our love of gardening, garden art, and of course, all things gardening, that brings us together. Lets try to keep the bulk of our communications on the gardening and shared information forums, and not segregate into tree-mail cliques. If I were to respond nicely to one in open forums and then talk behind their backs in tree-mail,...it would make myself aware of less then wonderful qualities in myself and others in an imaginable clique I might have unfortunately gotten myself involved with,...albeit may have seemed cozy fun for the short term.
Lets welcome all who share here honestly and openly as much as possible.
Lets just Grow!
