Yet the English terminology associated with it can be confusing when multiple English-as-Second-or-Other-Language (ESOL) jurisdictions are involved, especially when they each have used and developed unique abbreviations.  Artificial Intelligence (AI) translation alone won't help as it is based on one standard fused from multiple inputs, while such communication requires understanding of multiple standards. Several trials proved one practice helpful: prior to a meeting, each ESOL party provides a translator to convert their respective native languages to an machine-ready extent, clearing ambiguities and misunderstandings, and then leave the meeting to the hands of AI translation, with human translators interfering when necessary.

However, landscaping practices can cause plant to vary so significantly from its farm counterparts of the same exact variety in terms of hardiness, fertility, crop, vigor and yield that almost render its morphological information invalid. \r\n\r\nFig (Ficus carica L.) is a fruiting shrub widely used in landscape. While reputable nurseries have graded “Qingpi” fig to be a cold-hardy, easy-bearing, biferous, vigorous and bountiful variety in a given region of China, landscape architects reported disappointment. Random controlled trials disclosed that the unique pruning practice in landscape is relevant and causational; past studies on the genetics of amino acid uptake for fruit flavor hinted a different composting strategy for better shape formation. Nurseries may consider adding criteria “hardiness when heavily pruned” “fertility when heavily pruned” etc. when grading fig seedlings for sale.\r\n\r\nThis could be a groundwork for future research of and with traditional nurseries, for eventually constructing a new grading system for a new market, and for fruit trees becoming viable, sustainable and aesthetically-manageable for landscape architects.

E.g. linguistic and anthropological tools demystified the history of tea(Sarah Rose 2011), empowering correct naming and analysis of its cultivars. \r\n\r\nFig (Ficus carica L.) is known for its ease to propagate(Allen Owings 2015) and the diversity of edible fruits (Encyclopedia Britannica \"Fig\" 2021). Fig phenotype depends heavily on environment, maintenance [Using_Fig ](/ideas/219d1ff87d596119734038cfa140f4b0) and specific cultivars; yet the value of fig researches has been undermined by confusion and misidentification among cultivars of hardly true-to-type(Allen Owings 2015) origins even from reputable donors(UDA Germplasm Resources Information Network Online Database 2022) or depositories(M Aradhya et al. 2010),not to mention  lost (Figaholics.com 2022) or confused or mislabeled (FigVarieties.com 2022) origins. \r\n\r\nPrior to an RAPD/SSR analysis, the specimen should be vetted for genuinity, e.g. with linguistic grouping to check \r\n for synonyms caused by transliteration or translation. It provides critical evidence to whether a specific cultivar is what its name claims to be. Then genetic grouping reveals if these specific cultivars are scientifically different from each other. Then anthropology field study discloses one cultivar spread in which direction with what cultural exchange events. From there can further accurate recommendation of utilizing a specific cultivar of fig be drawn.
