You say tomato and I say...

I have just googled the Indian bean tree and discovered that it's native to America.  I had assumed it was a tree from the Indian subcontinent... introduced to Britain by a colonial district commissioner who'd thought the tree would add interest to his garden back home in Surrey.  Wrong Indians.  Ruth never used to be able to understand the British Indians she would meet here were nothing to do with the American Indians she would learn about from her grandfather in Connecticut.  And here I now am muddling my assumptions too.  But my little American children have an American tree in their garden... it's like Norman knew we were coming.  Thank you, Norman.
