Hello,

Unless the geneticaly modified test trees are being grown in a bubble,  
their GM pollen is being shared in the wild.

Once you put GM anything into an open test field, it has been released to  
the wild.

Not complaining, just making  point.  Last I heard, court cases have been  
won regarding wild GM pollen getting into standard crops, and the standard  
crop farmer having to pay GM royaltys to GM patent holders.  Not a simple  
issue.

Later,
Tom
