There is no need to get complicated at all.

Self-propagating alien> naturalised wild alien.
Human sown/planted and not propagating> not wild.

wow!
it took me a lot of time and the audience was still not happy and here RB sums it up in two lines and there can be no question that his explanation is perfect.
only one amendment: :wink:
if you spit pomegranate seeds, MWP, you are not sowing them like a farmer, what you do is just illegal waste dumping. :D you will be amazed how many of the naturalized sp result from that. :lol:

Sdravko, there was nothing much to add after your long and good explanations (which I hope I thanked you already in this post for that). I simply had nothiing to comment on RB's short (baby dwarf) and sweet reply. Your input is greatly appreciated (much more from RB's last short reply :oops: )

Hope I dont receive something from RB's lawyer now! [-o<

If a person spits out P.g. seeds, then one could consider him an animal, as the dispersal was part of a simple natural process (eating), and anyway since we're not plants then we must be animals, so then I would tend maybe to not consider the dispersal as "planting".

I tried to fit in many words MWP to make you happy :roll: but then I ended up not understanding what I was writing :? so this is as long as I can make this :!:

:lol:

to add a highly important technical detail :lol: :lol: (and add some words) - the spitting must not be aimed, but completely random, even if the human animal has friends with him, by his/her side.

Shall we try this on Saturday?

RB, i am so sad i can not come and meet you on saturday. if you try the pomegranade thing i have an advantage, being tall and able to fit a lot of flora in my mouth.
MWP, sometimes a short but high-quality reply is to be appreciated more than my complicated, messy explanations. i write a long post snce i have no time to write a short one.

I think your problem is that you will be too busy eating anything and everything that you see to be disturbed by this aerial dispersal nonsense...

Maybe you will therefore be good at another form of dispersal, which will be ideal for seeds which require an acid treatment :shock:

I guess that also counts as "natural", very, again as long as you don't do any aiming, but your friends should be safer. I hope!
