That may be all it takes. They can't argue with proof.
Last year, I was contacted by a doctor in Exton, PA about some dawn redwoods that were going to be cut down by a developer. The town "expert" refused to acknowledge these trees once grew here and were therefore, native. After several emails detailing my evidence that M occidentalis and glyptostroboides are in fact, the same tree, along with threats to have demonstrators show up and chain themselves to the trees and have the local news there to report (luckily, I'm a writer as well), they relented and publicly recognized the dawn redwood as a native tree to PA. This sets an important precedent.
Now, all you need is someone who knows bananas like I know dawn redwoods (and this site is full of them), and you're all set to get an expert opinion.
