So...is this 1) a stupid question that no-one wants to bother with, 2) a
heretical question, how dare I ask it, or 3) a question that no-one actually
has an answer to? I thought it made sense, after all, if early greens are so
much more desireable and expensive, it stands to reason that someone
somewhere will try to make a spring green that might not be "all that" and
try to foist it off because it's early rather than anything else.
