That was the thinking 50 years ago, but, if you think you're going to fool anyone with a sneaky these days, you must associate with some extra dumb persons, or... Things change. Dale

Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. You mean planting trees in rows like a cornfield gives a different result than letting them mature over centuries in a thick rain forest? Dale

New to pool are we? Dale

Absolutely, Indian Rosewood is raised on plantations in Indonesia and other locations. Thank you Google Dale
