From all I read here and what little I understand about plants at the cellular level, it sounds like since even cuttings "begin" with growth-tip cells - the newest cells a plant produces. If that's the case I guess everything is still considered new whether from seed, cutting or division?
The question was only academic; I realize we grow from cutting or divide to make exact replicas, and seeds with the hopes (or fears?) of a genetic difference. Sometimes silly things like that question get stuck in my head and since my wife says there's nothing up there they bounce around for a long time.
