Pretty much all of modern agriculture is like that anyway.

Gasp! You kidding me

Cross-pollination that creates natural hybrids is very much a “natural” process.

I see, thank you very much for the knowledge.
Its so hard to find some educated conversation in here these days, hahaha

It’s your fault you’re making me nerd out on this topic. You’d be amazed at how anything “pure” in cultivation (not the Chinese kind) comes with a hefty price tag while natural purity itself is almost nonexistent. The definition of purity is also a bit wobbly, since nature adapts and evolves over time, even without human input.

I do. I mean its normal when 21st century human doing cross-pollination.
But apparently they made lemon like 2000 years ago?
I simply thought those fancy horticulture methods only started the past few centuries

Cross-pollination isn’t that fancy. It just means bringing two compatible, closely related plants together and letting nature do its thing. I doubt the lemon was even human made. It was likely hybridised by nature itself.
