So what do you suggest when it's the head of SODC and a seed company (serious conflicts of interest issues arising out of this combo) who decides to change the name of something because 'it's too long'???? Others in the trade are copying; after all this person (Jim Ternier) is in a position of authority, don't ya know.
Eg:
Silvery Fir minus the Tree
Brandysweet minus the Plum
I won't go into the crap that's been sent on to poor Glenn Drowns re Cdn varieties and history.
It may not seems as bad as what Amishland is doing perhaps, but I feel that it is or may be more difficult to deal with because of this purported 'authority'.
