Although this group proposal has good intentions and a good topic, not
enough thought has gone into the charter and the discussion of the group
was scant, at best. The proponent never entered the discussion, and suggestions
were not acknowledged. 

For example: what is the definition of fruit? Are both tomatoes and
apples (both botanically fruit) appropriate in this group's discussion?
Seemingly minute, this is but one of many loose ends that this proposal
never addressed.

For this group to be in the sci.agriculture.* hierarchy,
more work is necessary in planning the charter and more input, albeit
discussion, is needed.

I recommend a NO vote.
